Is this the cuckoo's egg strategy? Require the user to install your games and consume so much disk space that they have to choose between playing your game and somebody else's?

Nah, it's just cutting costs by reusing the same poorly optimized high quality bullshittery in all of their games.
Both, it's both.
I really don't understand CoD fans.
Imagine freeing up 200GB to install military propaganda on your pc. Seriously Activision has former CIA execs in their exec suite.
Well, when someone else can make a shooter that scratches the same itch, I'll play something else.
Modern Warfare 2, maybe?
It's 140GB on console and >200GB on PC... You can’t actually uninstall Warzone if you have CoD HQ installed, so MW3‘s total size is technically just 90 GB plus other garbage. Even if all you want to install is the campaign, you still need to download 100+ GB of other data first.
Yo dawg
