@critialcloudkicker There's a difference between games increasing in size and games being flat-out wasteful with space. I only brought up the old computer's hard drive as a comparison, and the fact regardless is that 40GB is too much hard drive space to dedicate to a single product, when my 600GB hard drive has to also fit a number of other things onto it. It's also difficult to download such a hefty program; in comparison, GW2 is less than half of that size and still took me multiple days to download on my 50Mb connection (when you consider I can't leave the downloader running 24/7 with other people in the house). And saying "it's a moot point because I spend lots of money on computers" is a terrible excuse for an argument, because games aren't designed as a niche hobby solely for nerds, and some accomodations need to be made for the more casual crowd who isn't going to spend hours tinkering their machines to play a game.
