Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev
TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 3 days agothink about what you just said very carefully, they have a 4tb drive and it costs $60 per tb for a new SSD. You’re expecting people to just drop at least $240 to replace their working hard drive just because it could be a little bit faster. You can get a 4tb HDD for less than the cost of a 1tb SSD.
And just so I’m not going to respond to a second comment separately, yes some people do need all that space. It can take multiple days to install modern titles over my connection, so uninstalling them to install something else isn’t really an option.

Think about what you just said for a moment. Where did you get $240 from?

And I’m pointing out that people who need 4tb can’t just get a 1tb drive and deal with it, you’re the one who needs to learn to read here

I keep saying 1TB and you keep responding to me with 4TB and then telling me I need to learn to read. No. Goodbye.

So Artyom, I’m going to need you to look at these words carefully ok? You did suggest buying a 1tb SSD, I understand that. But you need to realise that when someone needs to store 4tb worth of stuff it won’t fit in a 1tb drive.
Maybe it would be easier if we work this out with apples? If I’m really really hungry and I want to eat 4 apples, and a shop is selling apples for 30p each, or 4 for £1. It would be cheaper to buy a single apple, but it wouldn’t fill me up. If I buy 4 single apples it’s going to cost me £1.20, which is more than buying a pack of 4. Did that help you?

What do you suggest they do with the other 3TB of data?
