I think I hae almost every game that I play installed on my computer and
it only takes up 100GB or so. Probably says more about how I prefer
smaller indie games, though :P The biggest game installed is TF2 (29GB),
followed by HL2, Disco Elysum, and Jackbox 9, at 11, 10, and 9 GB. Over
half the installed games are less than 1GB.
