Why your favorite games are taking up so much space (and what to do about it)

In December 2011, when my dad got me The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for my birthday, I was over the moon. It wasn’t a surprise so much as money to pick up a bootleg version from a flea market, but I still remember that ride home, reading the pixelated synopsis on the back of the DVD case like it was holy scripture. Then came the real dilemma — uninstall Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood or Prototype, just to make room for Skyrim’s 12-15 GB install.
