[QUOTE="Mike Reitmeyer, post: 11769, member: 132"] For Xbox 360, a Title Update (Patch) is downloaded to a separate location, then applied overtop the original executable (which remains untouched). This is to prevent the game breaking if a download fails somehow. The original game is always there, the patch is just applied overtop at runtime. Assets are the same, they are access through a separate path. So the original assets still exist on your machine. As for the malice issue, the certification process should weed out anyone trying to do that. Especially if the download is mandatory to play. The size limitation is odd to me in this day where games like Diablo are a 15GB download, or the latest patch for Battlefield is 1.5GB (which EA was able to get an exception to the 4MB rule) I think the problem mostly lies with Microsoft and Sony still being game disc oriented, they haven't really embraced Downloading games fully yet.
