Nothing quite stings like uninstalling a huge game you haven't played in 5 years to clear up harddrive space you need, but you might want to play it again at some unspecified future time, you just *MIGHT* 😬

My issue is when it’s a multiplayer game I play with my buddies (like Halo or Apex) and we haven’t played in months, so I uninstall and naturally within a week or two one of my friends is like “we should get back into that!”
"I'm definitely going to finish that campaign. Well, maybe I'll restart it since I don't remember exactly what was happening. And I might need to replay the earlier games too... maybe I should keep the whole series installed."
And doesn't help that even smaller developers are slowly making games that will soon require a GPU that is connected to its own RBMK-1500 for power too at the rate things are going...
I think you should rethink uninstalling that, as you never know...you may just log into it, listen to opening music, then realize you don't want to play it right now, log out, then do that again in a month or so.
Damn, this took off! Here, did you know I've started a YouTube channel last year? I've a new video coming soon, but check out my Hollowbody review from last year:
Ah so it's not just me who leaves the same game installed despite not having touched it in months because SURELY this is the time I will feel like playing that one wrestling title. Surely.
I still have computers that're 20 years old for this reason.
I just reactivated a 13 year old personal laptop just so an intern would have something to work on for the few days it would take a new computer to arrive.
It's utterly fucked and an insult to issue to someone. But it's temporary.
There is nothing more powerful than the terror of imagining yourself look for something 5 years in the future, and not being able to find it when it's absolutely critical....
* Buy a stupidly huge hard drive
* Use Steam Library feature to push less-used games to the slow but stupidly huge hard drive
* When you want to play a game on the regular, move it back to the Library on your SSD
I bought a large external drive for my PS5. Not just for PS4 games, but to move PS5 games I'm not playing.
It takes awhile to move them back and forth, but I live in an area where my only internet option is Xfinity and they have data caps they charge for going over.
I haven't played in months but I'm not uninstalling Deep Rock Galactic. It could be years, I'm keeping it installed in case one of the boys wants to Rock and Stone again.

And then there's the games that end up being both and you realize you've done this 4 times now.
What kind of cyclical Hell is this?!
And can never get everything working just right again.

You obviously just need a bigger hard drive. 16TB isn't enough anymore.
No game left behind for that "if" moment, because it's coming.

Gotta clean the library up once in a while.
