I'm locking this thread because the discussion appears to be running in circles.

I would like to point out that in our requirements for the game we do have the following:

Quote

OS: Windows 7 64-bit (32-bit not supported)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo e6400 or AMD Athlon x64 4000+ (~2.2Ghz dual core CPU)
Video: DirectX 10+ capable Graphics Card.
Memory: 4 GB RAM.
Storage: 30 GB available HD space.
Internet: Broadband Internet Connection.

I bolded the part I feel is relevant.

Not everyone has access to readily available broadband, I understand that. Some people may even have data plan limits. We do our very best to keep download sizes to as small as we can manage, especially for those on console markets, but ultimately that does not change when the final build is ready. Knowing how big an update is will not change the fact that it is a required download to play the game and eventually you will end up having to pay data charges if that is what your ISP provides.
