Yep, 20MB and 300MB won't build a game.

Good Job Ubisoft deserves it

I dig Watch Dogs and many Ubisoft games.
There's a lot of hate against studios, but just as much love.
I'm enjoying both my free copies of WD1 and 2.
Haven't paid for any of the games in my Ubi library.

Why?

They definitely can be large parts of it. If you just take the source code, most games are not that large. It's the audio and texture files that make a game huge.

@Bradley Prior Two spelling mistakes:
" The Ubisoft leak includes files that suggest it has the source cod for a Watch Dogs game, and claimed that this is from the Watch Dogs: Legion game, which is set to be launched later this month. "
code.
" ZDNet said that it had reached out to both Ubisoft and Cryotek, but neither responded to a request for comment. "
Crytek.

Maps are large files as well as the game engine.
Point being no game could be created with this leaked code. Unless all other assets are in place.

Why? Because once they release a new game they shut down the servers for older games they destroyed my beloved Ghost Recon Future Soldier which is much better than all the new Ghost Recons.Its all about money with them they dont care about customers

I got both games free and installed them...yet I am still hung up on playing BF4. Then I uninstall BF4, and reinstall it a few days later. It shows the beauty of uncapped fibre, but also no inclination to play another game. Doh! I need to change that.

I enjoy the first one.
Couldn't get into the second. 3D print guns? Naaaaah.

One thing though.

Ubisoft sucks at driving mechanics.
Any game of theirs that involve cars the driving sucks.

Not limited to cars either.
The mounts in AC Origins and Odyssey are just as bad. you can almost run faster than the horses / camels

Ugh, Far Cry. As soon as fast travel opens up that's all I do. Screw driving around to go hunting.
