What is the maximum exe size you are going to download without thinking, like any other game?
Please discuss .

20 mb

Unless it's a freaking HD game with awesome graphics.
Then 60mb will be the limit ;D

Upload .rar and have it compressed! Artaex Media kinda put me down as my game is 60+mb. But i can just compress it to a smaller size when I publish it. But I don't really download games. I just make them.

What does this have to do with discussing the max. file size of a game you'd download?

Keep in mind, there really shouldn't be a size limit for your game. Just make a demo that's <10 MB and people won't think twice about downloading it. This works especially well for custom saved games, as you can tell people that they can use the demo to save their game and their save will work on the full version if they choose to download it. If it's a great game, people will download the full version regardless of size. I recently downloaded Mass effect when it was on a steam sale, and that's 10,000 MB. A bit bigger than 20MB

I'm with greep here. If I know that the game is going to be good, size doesn't matter, I'd download 20,000mb if I had too. Quality not Quantity.
