With Duke Nukem Forever the entire System folder takes up approx. 43 MB's and that includes others things than just executables, like shaders for example.

It really sounds like they build their entire assets in their binaries, for supposedly better protection. At least I can't come up with any other reason, no matter how PR- or managerially buzzworded.
Having that AES-encrypted zip file included in the binary comes with many downsides, and doesn't really improve security. It's only more obfuscation, hardly an effective security measure. The fact that none of the "big guns" do that and instead have a few meg executables instead should speak for that.

You really should understand where the naysayers were coming from. They were coming from the complete lack of confirmation from valve of steam for linux WHILE phoronix/michael was "it is coming listen to me" in the presence of "no plans" being posted.
THIS blog and the info from Gabe is exact the citable info that is great. What Michael/Phoronix need to take away from this is to not jump the gun and not be a jackass when faced with a reasonable request for independent citation

And asking for an independent citation when dealing with inside info is just faulty logic. Demanding (and actually expecting), something that can not exist by definition is neither a reasonable request nor expectation. Being told things that nobody else knows or can know ... well that's what "inside information" is. That's what it means.
Where the naysayers were coming from was a position of poor comprehension and willful ignorance. You guys simply got it wrong - and in the face of overwhelming evidence to boot. This is not a position to crow about or be proud of; it's an example of blinkered, stonewalling, vicious degenerate groupthink appropriate for young earth creationists and people who deny we landed on the moon.Last edited by Larian; 18 July 2012, 12:03 AM.
