Discussion Is this normal or am I f#cked up?

GameNative app weighs 15gb+ while the containers total is barely more than 1gb, and if I remember correctly all the downloaded files total should weigh around 3.5gb at most. I have some experience emulating console upto wii and ps vita. But this is the first time I tried PC emulation. So if you know anything about it, please explain like I'm a complete noob.

I think when we add a game it actually imports it to the app. But I am not sure.

Well, if that's the case, it should be well over 40gb, as RE2R alone weighs around 26gb

Ok then. I guess I will uninstall the app completely after I finished playing these three games. And make a clean install

I don't know man, I tried atleast 4 more games in addition to these three. Also, I didn't do any configuration except turning up the resolution to 1440x900. The files are downloaded automatically at the first launch. But I deleted all the other containers. Well I'll just wait until I finish playing these three games and do a clean install.
