It's because the information on the disc is compressed. It isn't a Sony thing it is the games themselves. They are too big to just be run off of the disc.

As for space. Delete the games you aren't playing off of your hard drive. Your saves are stored separately so if you reinstall you won't lose your progress.

Except that it makes total sense to do so? Characters in adaptations of a source typically don't look exactly the same as their original counterpart. A simple google search reveals that this is Jinx's outfit from Arcane, and that her original outfit is different.

I figure reading from an optical drive becomes a chokepoint once a game has too many assets, or higher quality assets. It just becomes easier to dump it into a nice, fast SSD where it can be loaded into memory immediately without having to constantly seek data off the disc first.

It hurts when people say “Jinx from Arcane” when she’s a LOL character. Not to be that girl, it’s just a bit of a head-in-hand concession. Like saying “I think I’m going to cosplay as a clicker from that HBO show”.
