Who's got that screenshot explaining how most of the size of games these days is because of online bullshit like data collection? It's some ridiculous amount where the "game" part of the game is very small, but all the other crap is what makes them all so big.


Can’t speak for every game but almost every bloated mess i can think of is due to texture creep. Borderlands 3 had up to 8K gravel textures for mountains in the background and it’s why the game on switch was 16 gigs, about 1:10th of the PC size.

Games optimized for hard drives will have multiple copies of the same thing located throughout the disk because it improves load times somehow.

Probably the biggest insult to injury is that for as shit as that game was, 99.99% of people never got to see what was actually taking up half their hard drive and it’s LITERAL FUCKING ROCKS
 
Cheers to all those in the European Union for doing their part!

I just thought about it, i know its an ever increasingly diminished part of game sales but how will STG effect console fags?
pc players can just modify code if server side shit happens but beyond dns redirecting if you have a ps5/nintendo system you're fucked. Microsoft is pretty much making their stuff pc so they will probably be accommodating but with how nintendo is i imagine even for third party shit loading up private servers past release will chap there ass (and thus, be funny).
 
i wonder how the law will impact steam's early access once it's written. if it does end up applying, it would be funny to see him have to scramble to actually work on his game and finish it before it's implemented, lest he consneed to the gamers.
 
Y'know it's funny; I never really cared that much for new pop music and when Nine Inch Nails came on the scene with that Head Like A Hole track I was already past my Industrial music phase, but goddamn if it doesn't fit Maldy and his whole...behavior during this.


Lyrics:
God money, I'll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don't want everything he wants it all
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
