Fully agree, but the way it’s worded makes it seem like log being a text file is the issue. Maybe I’m just misinterpreting intent though.

200GB of a text log file IS weird. It’s one thing if you had a core dump or other huge info dump, which, granted, shouldn’t be generated on their own, but at least they have a reason for being big. 200GB of plain text logs is just silly

no, 200gb of plain text logs is clearly a bug. I run a homelab with 20+ apps in it and all the logs together wouldn’t add up to that for years, even without log rotation. I don’t understand the poster’s decision to blame this on “western game devs” when it’s just a bug by whoever created the engine.

Agreed, and there’s a good chance that log is full of one thing spamming over and over, and the devs would love to know what it is.

It could be a matter of storing non-text information in an uncompressed text format. Kind of like how all files are base 0s and 1s in assembly, other files could be “logged” as massive text versions instead of their original compressed file type.
