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. -- user is generated from /dev/urandom
