[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 11745, member: 590"] While I don't know the details of how these downloads work, I could understand this policy as a guard against vendors pulling certain kinds of higher-order shenanigans. E.g. offer a free update to a game but have it break the game unless you then buy a non-free download. Even short of vendor malice, it'd prevent a situation where a download broke someone's game because they installed the patch and then their connection went down, or there was some problem installing the subsequent download, etc. Better to say that at the end of each install you are always left with a functioning product.
