Every time I see an install over 10 gigs, I wonder aloud how much of that is cutscenes.

you know whats hosed up, is that gigantic installation sizes are basically replacing DRM now, it's an anti-piracy tactic because no one wants to download all that garbo gunk

problem is it completely fucks over people who play games on SSDs, yayyyy

I still need to beat Wolfenstien: The New Order so I can then uninstall it and get 50 Gigs of SSD space back. I know storage is cheap these days but these game install sizes are getting out of hand.

This is not a truth, fyi. You give way too much credit to developers.

You guys realize that most games gain little to no benefit from running on an ssd right

just install your entire steam library to a terabyte or two of hdd

They often boot up faster if nothing else, and when your a true gamer every little bit of time is worthwhile.
