This absolutely.
I wouldn't be surprised if half of the outrage about file sizes simply comes from the fact that there are people who remember what software was like before all of this "technological supremacy" was a thing. People joining the workforce today didn't grow up with the experience of installing something off of seven floppy disks, which would have been considered an emormous program before the CD-ROM drive was common. They also don't know how much better those programs run, because they had to do so with 8 MB of memory or less and nowhere near 1 GB of hard drive space.
It's pure decadence.

- katastic 9y agoI've watched entire episodes of anime in RM format in highschool that were smaller than the majority of apps these days. Not just smaller, but like... a 4X smaller or more.
