For gamers using low-end PCs, older laptops, or those with limited data caps and storage space, downloading a 100GB+ game is simply not feasible. This created a vacuum that modders and repackers were eager to fill. By stripping away non-essential files (such as radio stations in foreign languages, tutorial videos, and extremely high-res texture packs that older cards couldn't render anyway), they created "Lite" versions—often shrinking the game to a fraction of its original size, sometimes as low as 18GB to 40GB.
