Do you know how much space I could save (and transfers that could be prevented) if they offered alternate branches that didn’t pack obscenely large textures onto my steam deck for no reason? You already know what textures you load on low, medium, high, ultra texture quality settings. Steam offers branches that are easy for users who care to use. Why not use them?
Counter: How do devs actually compress their fucking games? No reason games should approach taking up half of a hard drive.

Imagine expecting things to be simple, though. Something something Murphy’s Law…
Decompression uses the cpu, so you loose performance if you compress textures.
