discussion Is there a place to request game compression?

This may seem dumb to a lot of people but as someone whose internet is trash, there is nothing worse than going to download a game it being 5 + Gigs. I know to most this isn't a huge deal, but when a 16 Gig game takes 4 hours to download, it's nice if someone has taken the time to compress it down to 2-3 Gigs. I don't know if I'm even asking this in the right spot so if my post needs to be moved Just let me know and I'll be more than happy to fix it. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply to this.

Do you mean file splitting? Like downloading 32 500 Mb parts instead of a 16Gb file?

I think he means that his through put is shitt, and has trashy download speed.. Not every ISP provide true so called high speed internet... SUCKS!!! I know .. In some areas here a 10 down 2-3 up is Pure "SWAG" and your doing good to get a third of that in real time...

I used to have a connection like that, but I don't mind leaving things overnight. But I'd rather have lots of small files than a big one, because by the time the big one has failed twice, I have 95% of the small ones and can complete the download quickly.

No I was referring to file compression. Taking image and text files and compressing them into archive formats without affecting the quality of the game once extracted. there is a small chance of breaking game if some inexperienced does it however, I've been downloading compressed games for years and have only had a few that was broken. aside from the small chance on breaking it, the only real downside is it reduces the quality of the images so they're not 4K or 8k or whatever people are running now.

You are right, my download speed is 2.5 Mb/s if Im not doing anything else so you can Imagine that it gets old sometimes leaving everything over to download.
