A Meme. The first half shows a screenshot of the game "Banana" on Steam, showing how it weighs 1.89 Gigabytes. The second half shows a couple of native americans talking on a snowy landscape while inspecting footprints on the snow.
Native A: A western game dev has been here. Native B: How can you tell? Native A: It weighs 1.89 Gigabytes.
OK wtf is with the posts about "western game dev", as if that has anything at all to do with disk space?
Maybe they are making fun of obesity?
Western countries (USA) often have rich economies, which means that the average person in said countries often has better access to high amounts of storage than people from impoverished countries. This makes it so it's not a priority for companies targeting that audience to optimize for disk space.
TLDR: Rich countries get beefy PCs, which get unoptimized games
1.9gb is a high amount of storage?
For a banana clicker, yes
That's bigger than the Fedora ISO
Yes
I think the OP's explanation is the real one, but I still like to think this is a thing where more than one thing can be true
We like our apps to match our waists xD
