So there you go!

Yea and dont bother buying the game on dvd coz the cheap f uckers only put one disc in so you still have to download about 35 gig.
I dond know why they do this, when i buy a game on dvd i aspect to get the whole game.
This is criminal.

While I agree with you that this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's unfurtunately becoming more and more common with better and better internet connections being installed worldwide. It's basically a way for publishers to save more money on production costs.

What I don't understand is why this game is so heavy. It sure looks beautiful and all, but i'm sure they could reduce more the size

It is possible the {put random number here}K resolution textures the higher the resolution the bigger the file

I don´t know your system specifications, but once you buy a faster videocard, you´ll see an increase of detail, that justifies this size.

52GB with the free Multiplayer DLC included with seemingly all copies of the game, or at least all physical copies. The physical copy only includes 7GB of the 52GB on a disc, the rest must be downloaded because not including the whole game with the physical product release is a sure fire way to encourage fans of physical game products (and those looking to avoid massive downloads) to buy your ♥♥♥♥. (Note the sarcasm)

I bought the game to play, with the expectation it would take maybe 3 or 4 hours to install from discs, instead I had to wait for the game to mostly download and that took 48 continuous hours to complete! Which took several days because I like to use my internet for MORE THAN 1 THING! and I don't like pissing off the other people using the internet in our house by slowing the internet down when their using it because unlike ID Software/Bethesda I CARE about other people.

I feel you, man. Where I live now I have a 100/100mbit fiber connection so I can download and delete games from steam whenever I want.

Where I lived before we had 20mbit line with a 200 Gb transfer limit per month. So If I wanted to download a game like doom I would use up more than 1/5'th of my entire months transfer limit. And yes, the whole family shared that limit, so it was just out of the question for me to buy games this large before.

The Devs save money, but never transfer any savings to the end user, in fact nowadays even the season passes are becoming expensive. The games are usually broken and sometimes not even as promised. Take No Man's Sky for example.

I'm on 50GB/month, and steam is telling me it's a 60GB download.

You better upgrade that plan soon mate, games are getting bigger and becoming exclusively digital purchase only so if you don't get a better plan it might become impossible to download games in a future.

gg guys, I just left my steam running all night, downloaded 4 hours worth before afk, then gone for about 9 hours, so I have 2 hrs and 34 mins left which isn't that bad
