Homebrew Question HBG freeshop prints 5.3 for title and allocates the double of that ??

*TITLE: 5.3 GB
Basically the title. Any explanation for that? Does it downloads and forgets to delete the install file? Why does it needs 12 gb for a 5 gb title?

the downloads are currently compressed. generally from 25-50% compression, but still needs to take up the whole space once installed.

Okay, thats clear. But the game is no more than 6gb in every platform, why would be 12gb in switch. It compresses a 5.3 gb game then it becomes 12?

Still not really clear... A 30 gb game would be 60 gb and so on?
