>Got a citation? Disk space is the only variable that people even know to complain about... Not sure what you're drawing this from but it stinks to high heaven of corporate propaganda.

I'm not sure where "Disk space is the only variable that people even know to complain about" did come from, but games use 100-150 GBs nowadays, so things like 17 MB are basically irrelevant unless you do verrrrrrrrry specific stuff



Not everyone, let's say me, plays games. I find it insane that I am installing software packages that take up 10s of mbs or multiple gigs in some cases. It's just plain lazy in most cases that I saw. Maybe for games it's different, but I have a 256gb ssd in my macbook and it's complaining all the time it's full, without games; I don't find anything like this irrelevant. There is almost never a need for huge packages (maybe outside games, I don't know about that, again).

If you have a phone with 8G of space like I do, obviously games which require 150G are beyond my means. How does this work towards disk space being irrelevant?


I'm puzzled as to what a phone has to do with .NET in this particular discussion. It's not at all about phones.
