On a serious note, turning a 16GB game into a half-terabyte monster is the most PC Gaming thing I’ve ever done. 10/10 would crash my game again.

The term "Extreme Rip" typically implies a heavily compressed or edited version of a game, aimed at reducing the file size while potentially sacrificing some of the game's quality or features. In this case, the claim is that GTA 4 can be downloaded in a 461 GB file.

It is a waste of bandwidth, storage, and a massive security risk. If a "rip" is bigger than a modern Call of Duty install, it’s not a game—it’s a trap.
