    In relation to Western devs, I think this is essentially just that it’s easy to just pile in more assets, but it can be tricky slimming down again, because you need to be certain that something really isn’t used before removing it. So many games never get around to the slimming down part, also because it isn’t really directly profitable to them…

    I will highlight 1 case though. Hitman 2 was 149 gig, and included the levels for Hitman 1 and 2. But Hitman 3 was slimmed down to 60 gigs while including all of the content from Hitman 1, 2, and 3.

    This would imply that you have at least two machines. In that case they could just install Linux in the other machine to try it out.

    Foa people dabbling in Linux for the first time, with the anxiety of losing their data, it certainly sound like they don’t have 2 machines to run syncthing. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they just copy all their important data to the other machine to avoid the data loss risk?

    And sure if that is the case Syncthing is a good solution, but it doesn’t sound applicable in this situation.

    Yeah, it demotivated me too with the limited lives… If you still want Duolingo, I can mention that it has regional pricing, so you only need a VPN server in India to get it much much cheaper.

    But it’s understandable if you don’t want to support those kinds of business practices in any way.
