Sweet now they need to fix their file sizes. When I saw how much bigger newest Far Cry was compared to last one I did a hard pass. Learning that companies are doing this so you can’t install competitor’s games made me never want to play another Far Cry again.
Few weeks back saw there is a lawsuit about this issue. I think more related to console though. As companies are on purpose using uncompressed and unoptimized files more and more just to take up more space to deny other games. *EDIT Just for reference Far Cry 5 required 40gb in 2018. Far Cry 6 required 170gb in 2021. Three years and grew more then 4 times the size…
Jedi Survivor is 140gb. The MCC is about the same-ish size, but that one literally has six full games in one, plus all the multiplayer and customization.
thats a dangerous game as I take the amount of space a game is taking up when removing them from my steamdeck. I mean if I can remove one game to put on 3 or 4 more well. thats a no brainer.

Wait, wat? I hadn’t heard this explanation. I cynically thought it before, but I’ve never seen it suggested by anyone other than me.
You really don’t think AAA games are getting bigger because the companies want you to play only their games?
It’s been like that for years, especially on console. Why do you think Warzone takes up so much goddamn space?
