Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

Maybe not burn your house down, but for a while it would have filled your house with piles and piles of useless garbage.
That’s to say it took up an insane amount of storage to have installed until they fixed it a while back. It was apparently because they had some bizarre idea of duplicating files over and over to make load times faster for hard drive users. It went down from something crazy like ~150 gb to around 30 lol.

The duplication never made any sense to me, I’m not aware of any OS’ mechanisms for ensuring that files don’t get fragmented;
idk about Windows, but the Slim version was just as fast on Linux when I had the game on an HDD - most of the mission loading time is CPU bound anyway.
