- it relies on updates and as such 100% did not leave the factory in finished working order.
My "smart" dishwasher worked pretty shitty until it started to smoke and died.
I got a free repair under German law (2 years) and the repair guy clutched his pearls when he heard I had so far refused to connect it to the Internet.
Once he had me do that and download updates, it started actually cleaning dishes!
My old dishwasher was able to do that straight out of the box.

The games were simply released once they were ACTUALLY DONE.
Now they release trashy alphas across platforms which are fixed months or years later once the online multiplayer base has vanished.
Same attitude.
