How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"? (programming.dev)

Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I'm mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

That's like 70 MB per game unless my napkin math is off by a few 0s. Sounds rather large for MS DOS games?

I suspect a number of the larger ones are CD games with multimedia (video) experience. I mean, the original Command and Conquer used 2 CDs

Correct many are covered by.....E. Ese (sound it out)

Right, I totally forgot about games on CD!
