        Until you spend the 48 hours of processing time needed to unpack it…

            That doesn’t make the unpacked files take less space…

              But it makes unpacking them quicker, which is what you originally seemed to be making fun of in regards to fitgirl repacks.

                The whole thread is about storage space, I was just exaggerating with the 48 hours comment

      By leaving translations and so on out, but they can’t change unoptimized and duplicated but only once used assets in every map.

        You can choose to compress files on storage. If on linux. Or use tools like ConpactGUI to compress in windows 10/11.(not recommended to compress live service titles)

        Part of the reason for the bulk of course is prerendered video and voice assets, especially if it has multiple voice options. Also non standardization of os level compression means you cannot send those conpressed files for users as not all users could use them if compressed using the methods mentioned above.

        You don’t need a computer science degree to downloaded and install a pirated repacked game.
