Where did you hear that? > claiming that older content took up too much space on peoples drives or some other excuse. Well which is it? I've worked on games where we've stripped old content in a patch. Like code, content has a cost to maintain it. If we update an Uber shader do we need to keep a branch for ever for that one edge case of an asset that we know 11 people out of our 1 million players use? The flip side is that when we don't strip content, we get accused of being lazy or incompetent - see any thread on patching or updating games here for what I'm talking about.
