How much longer will this retarded practice continue before selective download becomes standard for all digital downloads?

this is just lazyness of the developers tbqhwyf

there are penty of games available without all the language packs preinstalled

>not enjoying owning game cases and autistically laying out your games on the floor like a big 3x3 grid

I'm trying to wrap my head around this one, but I just can't. What's the point in doing that?

What's the point in downloading games?

the only thing that needs to be discontinued is retards not being capable of reading english in 2017

Not having to leave my house to buy games, not having to deal with stores having things in stock, not having to deal with the shitty ass game stores, not having to switch disks, not having to store the cases and deal with the clutter.

You have to do nothing of that with Witcher 3.

? ?

Um. What?

Why do people go to game stores? For the last decade I've only got stuff off of Amazon.

The only time I've been in a gamestore in like 5 years is 2 days ago when I made $300 at gamestop doing that trade in thing. Amazon all the way, but people do still go to gamestores for some reason.

even if you own the disc Witcher 3 still takes like a 80GB of the HDD for some reason.

Who cares? Are you poor? Can't afford $3 worth of disk space?

Cant lose them anymore

this thread fucking blows dude what the hell

More devs need to use shit like the Language tab in Steam so you can opt out of downloading a bunch of language shit you'll never use and not redownload when you want to verify the cache

Apparently being rich makes it ok to waste money now

It's not even about money really, It's about knowing there's a bunch of unnecessary files on your drive serving absolutely no purpose at all ---other than taking space.

>wasting roughly 4 cents of hard drive space makes you rich as fuck

jesus christ how poor are you. do you take loans out just to open the door of your friends apartment you sleep on the couch in. seriously, imagine being so poor that you omit vowels so you save on bandwith

Imagine supporting useless bloat.

Calling people poor is the absolute best way to let everyone know your opinion doesn't mean anything. Congrats

WOAH THERE dont break the bank with those images! thats almost a fraction of a cent there!

Trust me, the people who go "What are you poor or something???"

Are the kind of people with a nice car and a big screen TV but $85,000 in debt and a modest $22,000/yr job.

Rich men NEVER throw money away frivolously. You'll see their kids and wives do it, but you'll never see THEM doing it. Every expense or investment is carefully weighed with the benefit it brings.

ask me how i know the largest sum youve seen in your life is 3 digits

Exactly. Not to mention that bragging about money and material possessions is pretty much the cringiest thing you can possibly do.

This will stop being an issue as voice synthesis programs evolve. There won't be any audio dialogue on the disc, the AI will read the script and generate the sounds of speech as the characters speak their lines.

to people who have none, lol. even if its spent on the most shallowest of shit, doing that crap means your literally better then those who dont. that redneck with the hummer getting a dui on cops? worked harder, smarter and faster then you did. literal trash is better then you, poor people

Lmao, what? By the time that technology exists on that level, storage will be so fucking cheap that it won't matter.

The day we get 100 gigs in audio flac files for a video game is the day I give up on video games.

Why would 100 gigs matter if a 2tb drive costs 10 bucks?

Because I don`t have fiber in my area and I don`t want to move out the family home my grandfather worked so hard to get, I have a few HDDs and back-up portable ones anyway.

We're already to 90's videogame voice actor levels:

By the time Audio files reach 100 gb, you will have fiber unless the big ISPS get their way

>tfw your government gives exclusive rights to countryside fiber to an ultra-shit company
Maybe when the contract is up.
Either way it`s not right to make such needlessly big downloads, it promotes piracy since the re-packs are smaller.

this
devs to lazy to package repos properly

>124 KB/s download speed
>most games now are either 20-ish or straight up 60 gb in weight

someone kill me
