        Which will requires to download the game beforehand so what’s the difference between downloading and installing right away vs downloading to install later? You can still launch the games without logging in.

        It’s not 2006 anymore, high speed storage is cheap.

          That’s a terribly wasteful way of thinking, why can’t we just download something once and have access to it forever? Steam allows local network installs and GoG has installers, what’s Epic excuse? Don’t forget, billion dollar company with 1000s of employees :)

            My point is that no matter which option, the data is on your computer, it’s no more wasteful to download and install right away vs download the installer and store that data to install it offline later. Heck, you’ll need more space with the second option as it requires the installer AND the installed game to be stored.
