Ah, yes. The "let's bloat our game size to bully other games off your SSD so you'll be reluctant to ever uninstall it, because reinstalling it would be a big pain, that way you'll play it indefinitely and give us extra money in micro transactions" strategy.

Textures that you don't have access to because they are all locked behind micro transactions, but one whale is going to buy them all so your machine has to be able to render them all.
