When I launch a "modern" game, the auto-updater "jumps right in" and plays with my system. Sometimes it loses, like in the reported cases of Steam wiping whole disks. Then, sooner or later, if everything goes well, I might have an opportunity to play the intended game instead of "Storage Space Manager 2021 SSD Edition", "Backup Busters", or more hardcore multiplayer titles like "Server Overload".
