    I mean I get that decompression can be expensive, but there’s nothing stopping them from having a base version of the game with smaller lower quality assets and allowing players that want to download the huge assets do so with a free dlc. Many games have done this in the past.

      Or like in mobile games (WoTB, PUBG) you have the option to download “HD-textures”.

      Woah. That was a fine idea, but a free DLC? Management isn’t going to like that concept.

      Nothing except the work of creating lower quality assets and splitting off the HD stuff into a separate download. Totally doable and I’d love to see it, but I doubt studios will commit the man hours unless they can be convinced that it will really make the game sell better.
