Absolutely insane. Some silly comparisons to what software has changed the world at less than 50MB:
- VisiCalc: ~27KB - i.e. the first killer app, and probably still the most successful. I wonder what DAUs on excel & google sheets compared to tiktok and insta are like...would be interesting to see.
- Wolfenstein 3D (1992): ~2MB - invented the FPS genre
- DOOM (1993): ~2.5MB (shareware), ~12MB (full)
- Quake (shareware) ~8.7 MB
- Quake (full) ~15-25 MB (excludes the CD audio)
- nginx: ~2-5MB - powers ~35% of all websites
- bash: ~1MB
- git (*nix only): ~3mb
- gcc + toolchain (ie ld, cc1, etc) ~40-45 mb
- FFmpeg: ~30-40MB
- curl: ~3MB
- OpenSSL: ~5MB
- windows 95: 50-55MB depending on features installed
