Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.
Steam: If a game is not in our records
GOG: Or ours
Both: Then it doesn't exist
Me with my physical CDs of games you can't get digitally...
Just doing some napkin math, if you took Baulders Gate 3 and burned the entire game to CDs, it would require a stack of CDs around one meter tall. That's no mods, just the game.
I also did some napkin math on it and got a very different number. I don't have the game so I saw people reporting the game is 150GB on PC. CDs can store up to 700MB of data, so (150 x 1024) / 700 ≈ 219.4 but we can round that up to 220. The standard CD is 1.2mm in thickness, so 220 x 1.2mm = 264mm which is a quarter of a meter.
I'm curious how my result differed from yours.
I screwed up my units a bit and did gigabytes and megabits. You're right. It would be a little shorter than an average ruler.
