Comcast and Time Warner ARE content companies.
True of the former, not so much of the latter. Time Warner no longer owns AOL, Warner Music Group, or Time Warner Cable.

People don't really want CDs or DVDs or OTA, they want streaming.
Not if streaming incurs a $10 per GB overage payable to the satellite or cellular ISP. See how Hulu and Netflix waste cellular airtime.
I'd also like to be able to lift my feet a bit higher and climb over small walls, rocks etc.
Climbing I'll give you, but what feet?
Budget problems? For parts of a map that need to look plausible but whose precise arrangement isn't critically important to the story, try something procedural. Don't design a hotel room; make a program that designs hotel rooms. It worked for the space trading sim Elite, the shooter
Tech limits? Why can't the game just drop everyone to 1997-class graphics when it detects that what the players have chosen to do has hit fundamental limits of popular video gaming platforms? If it was good enough for GoldenEye...
Or a site deciding to use a different URI schema because it it better for SEO and not caring about compatibility?
Search engines count inbound links as one of the factors in the rank of a particular document. Keeping old URIs working alongside your new URIs keeps your old inbound links working, which can only improve the placement of the documents on a site. When I moved Phil's Hobby Shop to a different shopping cart package, I had the 404 handler try to interpret the old cart's URI schema and route requests to product search.
I always thought that URIs were supposed to handle precisely this - that they were supposed to be unique, universally accessible identifiers for contents and resources - identifiers that, once assigned, wouldn't need to be changed to access the same contents or resources in the future.
That's the intent: cool URIs don't change. But in the real world, URIs disappear for political reasons. One is the change in organizational affiliation of an author. This happens fairly often to documents hosted "for free" on something like Tripod/Geocities, a home ISP's included web space, or a university's web space. Another is the sale of exclusive rights in a work, invention, or name to a third party. A third is the discovery of a third party's exclusive rights in a work, invention, or name that make it no longer possible to continue to offer a work at a given URI.
