The poor peasants who are temporarily bound to their work laptops for example or the still rather numerous victims of subpar third world internet connections.
I would advice against underestimating how low-tech some VN readers are heh.
As for pure size comparision,10 hours for 5 gb,as far as the VN market is concerned,is incredibly low(not that that says much considering its contextualy subjective nature).
Alas I understand why you might ignore that angle(though personally,outside of the added workload,I dont really see any downside to optionally offering a heavier compressed house version but if you dont consider that a valid market hey thats fair I guess).
As for the comparisions to normal gaming software developing practices...yeah we all know how their general mindset goes.
Optimization of resources hasnt been a main focal point since the early 00´s.
Also CoD has been shit since 5 so Im not susprised about 60GB patches
Oho,thats good to hear.
Seems like my low-tech ass stays in the game.
