Usually if I'm bringing home a game, I immediately boot up the console and have in DL whatever it needs, then go take a shower or start dinner.

If they didn't install you'd be looking at multi-minute load times, constantly.

some games install really quickly, for what it's worth...but then you're hit with updates that can last for a while.

I've been complaining about this since I first got a PS4 in 2018

I lag behind like 4 years on most video game stuff

It's even older than that actually. Some 360 and PS3 games wouldn't start without the mandatory install. It's nice that Switch carts don't have to install, because I've been so used to having to wait. Preloads are nice for skipping the wait, but I don't always pre-order the games I want.

That would result in longer loading times and less graphical fidelity.

Some games let you play while it installs.
