But it can be that detailed for nothing, so why not? They own Bing Maps. They already have optional extra high detail for certain areas you can keep on your hard drive, just as you suggest. That's why some people have a TB of game content. That's what the new game wants to fix. The Bing stuff fills in the bits that aren't bespoke. In the new one it streams it all, and most people who actually plays the genre are very pleased about it.
It's not for nothing. If they keep the ability to have it on your hard drive then that's fine. But if they don't, then people are going to be hitting their data caps super easily.
