If you play a lot of mobile games you’ve probably experienced this. You finally get a game installed, open it up, and are greeted with a message to the effect of “downloading additional data”. Why wasn’t that data downloaded while the game was being downloaded?

1. You may be downloading the “base” game, and the extra downloads are patches. This makes distributing one installer easier.
2. Programs with ads may pre-download the ads to display to you while you are offline.
3. It makes the initial install size seem smaller “Oh look, only 50MB to download this game” followed by a 1GB required “update”.
