If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...
If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...
If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

Part IIa: Protocols and APIs of 64 Network DO’s and DON’Ts for Game Engine Developers

Quote: “While using framework is fine, forgetting about it is not.”
Another Quote: “Even if you’re forcing the auto-update every time the game app starts, there still are users who were online at the moment of the update, and those who found a way to bypass game updates”
