Star Citizen Might Take Up 100GB

Earlier this week, the staff at Cloud Imperium Games hosted an open thread on the Star Citizen forums in order to answer all sorts of questions players might have. One answer though is staggering in its implications. As developer Jeremy Masker posted, "The game compression and asset removal is unlikely to yield such high gains that we will be able to reduce our client size to 30-40gb. The size and number of assets that are left to deliver means that our client size is much more likely to be 100gb."

100GB is a number that seems almost comical in size for a game's client, but there is no joking here. There is no other game that even comes close to a number this large and it really makes one think if this will be the standard in the near future.
