Or you can wait for someone to upload a low resolution version of the game. It will look horrible, but it will be smaller.
I have been here for a while, but I think I need to call it out: Is there no way to reduce the file size officially?
I could take a couple GB, but 7GB are a lot. Lately I am struggling with finding space on my device and having to manage space for something that I really want to keep playing is getting more tedious (not specifically just for this, but one of them). You could call it bad space management, but I just never know whether I might want to use that one other thing anytime soon again, I might just be that indecisive.
Of course people who compress these games exist, but looking at the size of the base game, I thought I had to address the root.
I have to keep in mind the amount of content that the game already managed to accumulate, so it does make sense to me that it might get harder to optimize, but the unofficial compressed versions suggest that it still is possible to reduce the file size, even if it is with drawbacks.
In my opinion drawbacks can be seen everywhere, nothing is perfect, so in order to achieve one thing another might need to be sacrificed. One group might give more importance to ensured quality and keep no heed to the file size, but another group might prioritize smaller file size and care less about the quality but more the content itself.
So while I might want to have quality to a certain degree, currently the file size is of more importance for me, so I am really glad that there are people who provide unofficial compressed versions, but it would be even better if the official game could somehow gain a reduced file size.
Although I am not specifically asking to reduce the file size of the main version of the game, it would be nice if there was a separate one that fulfills that criteria.
I could live with denial, but I am also kinda heartbroken that I have to wait for the compressed version to be able to play the game (or manage to free up enough space, but downloading 7GB also is tedious).
