    I remember once Fortnite did something similar and shaved the install size from 75 GB down to 30 GB or so. And now it’s mega bloated again…

    Activision, Ubisoft, EA and Rockstar devs, please take note. Oh, and you too, ID Software. I don’t like Doom Eternal being 89 GB. At least Battlefield 6 is only 37 GB if you only have Multiplayer installed without the high-res textures.

      Don’t forget Wildcard. Ark Survival is an absurd 200+ Gb monstrosity. And there is sooooo much duplicate data.

        JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!

        This just reminds me of the absolute horror that was Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019). The entire thing, with Warzone (that you couldn’t uninstall, btw) was 250 fucking GB. Like, what the actual fuck?

        I still wonder how the HELL I managed to play that game with nothing but a GTX 950, an FX-4300 processor, and 8 GB of RAM. Which, even for 2019, was an absolutely TERRIBLE computer.
