…the developers pride themselves on releasing a solid product. Ultimately any lack of polish or any inefficiencies that remain are due to a lack of time, and that largely falls on the publisher.
That said, going forward you would have thought that Activision would have learned their lessons from Modern Warfare. It’s become a meme at this point and with SSDs being as expensive as they are for both PCs and consoles, this sort of stuff could very well hurt sales.
It’s interesting to note that in the past couple weeks Fortnite received a major update in where the game size was reduced to a fraction of its ever-growing size. Patch sizes have also been reduced.
When I bought external HDDs for my consoles, game sizes have been a complete afterthought. It’ll be a different story this next generation.
Yeah a lot of these live service games are doing a revamp and decreasing file sizes by a lot. Fortnite did it, Destiny did it, Warframe did it, but Cod doing it just seems increasingly unlikely.
