Install size...

Why is the base game so fat? 125 GB and I don't even have any of the DLC...

Is the storage management badly optimised or something?

Every DLC is already part of the base game, just locked.

Damn. That's a terrible design decision, straight outta 2010 PS3 era

What's your opinion on the benefits of this choice?

It's never been any kind of issue for me.

I can see how some folks might have issues with drive space. I get it.
I don't drive GT3 at all but these cars are taking up space... for why?
So I kinda agree with OP.

However... I'm not concerned about drive space.
I want the game to be as complete as possible, fully downloaded and up-to-date.
I want complete access to the full game, on demand.

I can see the pros and cons either way, but I like it as is.

Its to maintain compatibility with multiplayer servers, so that you don't need all DLC that the server uses to connect.

in AMS2, the biggest benefit (for the player) is that you can race in tracks you didn't bought in multiplayer.
ACC (and many other games) also force you to download all the content but you can't race in tracks you don't own.
i guess downloading all the content and then unlock/access what you paid for its easier for steam and the developers for logistics reasons?

It was also possible in single player to drive a DLC track if it shows up in a Reiza created championship but i can´t test it.
