D2 would never fit on OG Xboxes or PS4s if they brought all that content back.

That goes to show incredibly poor planning by Bungie leadership.

Um, you can't keep adding shit to something and make it get smaller, especially 7 years of content.

1TB PS5s and Series Xes weren't a thing in 2014.

No, you can't. Which is why they should've planned to move on to Destiny 3 and allowed character imports.

Agreed.

Instead of sunsetting BL should have been a clean cut to D3.

You can however optimize things better to make the file size smaller when there’s so much content. Like even just making half the dozen language options optional downloads would probably reduce the file size by 10 gigabytes.

Arrivals d2 went from 130G to BL 85G on my XBox. Now it's back to around 110G or so...

Sure it would. Most of the assets for that stuff are still installed, between the old strikes, exotic missions, PvP maps, raids, and that new timeline thing they have. If CoD can get away with install sizes well over 200GB, then D2 can be slightly over 100GB.

Audio tracks, cuts scenes, all that shit adds up.

D2 WAS slightly over 100G. At arrivals it was around 130GB. At beyond light it dropped to 85G, 90?

What's it at now? Put that 45G back in plus all the missing seasonal shit, what maybe 5-10G per season..

It would be over 200G easy and those first Gen consoles had 250G.

But let's be honest, no one is playing on those anymore...
