4.3 gb for source code only seems like a lot though, doesn't it? (I am just a data scientist/civil engineer/hydrologolist though, no software developer, so I might be wrong I guess).
Probably packed with tools and things, not just source code.
If it's just logic and stuff then not really. Most of the video's game size comes from assets. Textures/npc etc.
Yes, and the source code wouldn't have the assets. So the previous comment holds up -- 4.3gb or whatever seems pretty big, no?
I mean it is a huge game, and source code probably includes other required tools.
No doubt. I just couldn't imagine that much space being taken up by what would effectively be text
I don’t think so, GTA has a lot of pathing and logic, I think it makes sense
