Just don't play the AAA slop and the file sizes are a lot better.

Not sure which ones are AAA slop. I play online every Monday with a friend in the UK. Here are some of the games we've played:

Grim Dawn, Diablo 4, Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, Borderlands the presequel, Tiny Tina's Wonderland, and currently we're playing Aliens Elite something.

But I have played other games with a different group of friends online.

Man, the formatting sucks. There was a carriage return after every game. Why is it there for the paragraphs and gone for the lists?

Most of those are in the 30-60GB range IIRC. So if you keep 5 installed, you're looking at 200GB or so.

What OP is referring to is things like COD that are 300GB or so.

Why is it there for the paragraphs and gone for the lists?

You need a blank line between paragraphs, so:

First paragraph.

Second paragraph.

If you want a list, add a hyphen or asterisk, like so, and you won't need the blank line:

- item one
- item two

Renders as:

  • item one
  • item two
