A Meme. The first half shows a screenshot of the game “Banana” on Steam, showing how it weighs 1.89 Gigabytes. The second half shows a couple of native americans talking on a snowy landscape while inspecting footprints on the snow.
Native A: A western game dev has been here. Native B: How can you tell? Native A: It weighs 1.89 Gigabytes.
OK wtf is with the posts about “western game dev”, as if that has anything at all to do with disk space?
The worst offender I’ve ever seen is Ark and that’s a Chinese developer. It’s over 400GB to install Ark.
I have heard rumors that it keeps a separate copy of every dinosaur and object for each map and that is why it is so gigantic. hard to guess what would force them such a design though
In it’s early days? My nephew played that a long time ago. It filled his PC. I thought it was mods. As in, the entire game would clone itself when it created a mod profile. I don’t think it does that anymore.
Without checking, is it a bitcoin miner?
No, it’s a steam item miner
EDIT: to explain, clicking the banana gives you random “Steam Inventory” items, that players can sell on the marketplace The entire thing is just money laundry
I’ve never understood that weird market… Why the fuck is anyone buying that shit?
Low-fee way to transfer currency out of Russia, China, Iran etc.
FOMO The entire reason why people buy is the thought they could sell for more to people that also want to buy to sell for more
No banana
