    No one said anything about a digital representation. I can draw Earth in MS Paint and it’s like 1mb.

    If your point is that it has a high resolution digital image of the Earth, just say that.

    But my point still stands. I’d still rather have a 500GB local install instead of all the problems that come with game streaming.

      We shouldn’t have to say that at this point, my initial reply already conveyed that information.

      I understand the gripe with it though, they have the option to download areas ahead of time.

      (Though it’s probably a one-time download, with models and textures cached for later use)

        You sorta glossed over the part where I described how and why your reply was nonsense.
