For those that didn't watch the video, it's a hatchback not a sedan. So the "trunk" is a part of the passenger compartment.
The video is pretty funny, I recommend watching it.

Sir, this is a correctness issue.

+1. I came to the same conclusion independently.

At home electric shock therapy? Hmm.
>Kwon agreed in 2024 to pay $80 million as a civil fine and be banned from crypto transactions
Being banned from transacting cryptocurrency seems overly harsh. Like how Samy Kamkar was banned from using the internet. You can't really live a normal life without internet access anymore.

If you never use them, they just look cool in your kitchen, so at least there's that.
I don't disagree - I just think this "show of confidence" take is nonsense.

Even when Titanfall 2 was released in 2016, I don't think that was meaningfully the case. Audio compression formats have been tuned heavily for efficient playback.
I think GP was confused - Titanfall 1 from 2014 is the one with the massive volume of uncompressed audio. Though I think your point still stands.
I was trying to point out that the decision to compress or not compress audio likely has nothing to do with the download size.
Scam Altman

> They said it was for performance but the theory was to make it more inconvenient for pirates to distribute.
This doesn't even pass the sniff test. The files would just be compressed for distribution and decompressed on download. Pirated games are well known for having "custom" installers.
>The files would just be compressed for distribution and decompressed on download
All Steam downloads are automatically compressed. It's also irrelevant. The point is that playback of uncompressed audio is indeed cheaper than playback of compressed audio.

too many arm chair game devs who think they know better in this thread
"Don't 6x your game's install size for no measurable benefit to users"
Wow! It looks like I do indeed know better.
