    Lowkey makes me question whether the theories of publishers inflating file size to monopolize gamers hard drives and, thus, their time, could carry more weight than I previously thought.

    I know Nanite can enable some massive assets to ship, so maybe that’s part of the current file size situation. Also uncompressed audio can be really big!

    But this is like 1/6 the file size, without reducing quality or compressing data… that’s insane!

      Doubtful. There are games I was dissuaded to get just because of their massive size.
