Well I suppose that is one big advantage of modern gaming systems is being able to play online with other people. That also needs protection from hackers. Usually when I am playing I just want to play offline. I figure that they could push the updates to the background so I can play right away. Sadly I think a lot of the more simple old games were more fun. When you bought a game they didn't ask for extra money in game. Dlc's for computer games used to be expected for free. Now they charge for a couple extra levels or sadly for a coat as you mentioned in your post.
