Star Citizen's release client will likely be at least 100GB in size says RSI
In a recent Star Citizen Q&A with Robert Space Industries, the developers behind the mammoth crowdfunded space sim have estimated that the client will be around 100GB big at release. What’s more, due to assets that are at times 200MB each, patches could be anywhere between 2GB to 20GB in size.
>>That's huge!!

CITIES: SKYLINES
Cities: Skylines becomes Paradox's biggest selling game at release: 250,000 copies sold
Paradox’s superb city-builder, Cities: Skylines has become the company's most successful title at launch. The game sold over 250,000 copies within its 24 hour release window, more than any other Paradox game, ever. The achievement has put wide grins on both developers Colossal Order, and Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester.
“We knew that we had a great game on our hands.” Wester said in a press release. “Our congratulations and thanks must also go to developer Colossal Order for making what is being widely described as the new benchmark of the city building genre.”

Cities: Skylines gets over 2,000 mods in one day
Cities: Skylines has been live for just over a day, and if the Steam Workshop is anything to go by, its longevity is assured. There are, at the time of writing, 2,353 entries in the Steam Workshop ranging from ambitious, entirely new models to new colours for existing buildings. I’m already making a list for my next city.
