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.

The worst offender I've ever seen is Ark and that's a Chinese developer. It's over 400GB to install Ark.
