hey everyone. i have a question. i have Nightshade, a normally 3.38gb game but its on a cd. Sword of Etheria, 2.69gb down to a full cd. how the hell do they do this? is content ripped out or is the game somehow shrunk down? Nightshade appears to be the exact same as its big brother dvd version. any help would be great.

ripped out cutscene/fmvs, ripped out audio, they also use downsampling but usually to make it fit on a cdr it's ripping out.

those are ripped down versions for sure.
They would have to cut out quite a bit to get it down to a CD
