rn downloading and its 33.3GB + 1.7GB shader cache

Bought include both storage for downloaded compressed archives and then to unpack before deleting them?

I've run into this when updating games where I have the game installed and enough space for the update but not enough for that middle ground when it's getting unpacked

That's much more reasonable, I don't even have 85GB available. Why would they recommend that much storage?

[–] cheeki@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe a dev just right click propertied their folder and typed that in haha. I think it's probably downloaded and cached community content. Unless it's a hint at new danger zone stuff

My guess is future proofing.

AKA Subtly forcing users to buy more storage real state 💾💵
