Agreed. Even getting support over an issue (initially) was troublesome. But somehow I ended up solving it through other channels. But just like torrenting, or any other tech, once you get enough experience to solve issues on your own, things get a bit easy.
A tech being easy to grasp can be an issue too, leading to more script kitties messing in with the protocol.
It's not really a hassle to configure your i2p node. I2p network recently went through a DDOS attack. Even during that point of time I had no issue surfing/torrenting.
But I've also done it the other way around. Saw how many DLC are there for cities skyline and then saw it on firgirl. You know the rest. Call me crazy but I did bought the base game and few DLC. But I always preferred playing the fitgirl version
