Well, you could compress your Steam folder. I'd be amazed if you got 200gb down to 80 though. It's all got to go somewhere.

You could get the Steam backup utility to split your games into DVD sized chunks, but that's a lot of disks for 200gb..

I THINK MOOGLEYS WAY SEEMS OK ,

a lot of them i don't play at the minute just i wated to avoid downloading the main four i play.

P:S sorry for caps
