Unity, including Unity Hub and related components, required roughly 21GB of storage, while Godot Engine needed only around 164MB

It really is astounding how bloated Unity has become over the last decade. It was never a lightweight engine, but 20GB+ just to install the editor is nuts.

That is pretty lightweight comapred to Unreal still, isn't it? I remember being astonished how huge the Unreal download was when I needed to install ot a few months back, cant remember how much it was now, unfortunately.
