They didn't actually fix this until a couple of months after they publicly revealed that this was the reason the game was so big and a lot of people pointed out how dumb it is. I saw quite a few comments saying that people put it on their storage HDD specifically because it was too big to fit on their SSD. Ironic. They could have got their own data quite a bit earlier during development, not nearly two years after release!
