False download size !
Hello,
There is a real problem with Steam :
You see download size for a game 80GO, and after installing it used 120GO.
They should really consider about giving a real estimation of the total to download as I always end up the month with extras to pay to avoid speed limit !
It's really boring

Ever heard of a small thing as COMPRESSION of files .... every installer does that. It downloads 80 GB and then decompresses the files and voila on your storage it's 120 GB

So in other word DOWNLOAD size and GAME size are NOT the same thing

Download size and installed size are not the same thing.

The download is always smaller than the storage so it's not an issue. The unpacked files which are compressed during the download will always be greater.
