Not to mention there own bandwidth cost. Streaming 127mb X subs for a 300kb update isn't very cost effective.
Yeah, it's definitely not a very good solution, but it is better than it used to be for patches 1.16 and 1.17, which was what Colino described earlier.

Patch 1.17 was the worst offender, with the base patch being 325 MB and a, b, and c being 327, 328, and 328.1 MB, respectively. The community was pretty up in arms about it too, because they were downloading such big patches just for fairly minor changes like new targeting modes and bug fixes. Anyone who remembers the "LOLPATCH 1.16/1.17" threads knows what I'm talking about, haha.

Thankfully that didn't last long, and they implemented the current system with patch 1.18.
