@Ishamael:
The client is downloaded in a compressed format by the installer.
The file size should be around 2 GB. Then the installer will decompress the game in the specified game folder and the client, once fully installed, should be under 8 GB. The required 40 GB is a - comfortable - margin for the game cache and also crashdumps for bug reports.
This is a very narrow mindset. There is a VERY dynamic PvE experience, or at least with what is planned. Obviously it isn't in the current iterations.
Sure, PvP will always be there... but you don't have to participate. Many will be content with exploring and trading between different hubs. Finding good prices, and selling elsewhere. The cool thing about DU is that the entire game is dynamic. Heck, with the scripting I'm sure someone could build a casino... the limitations are literally endless. THAT is the point of DU
I love PvP but saying there's no place for PvE players in DU is asinine. I'd honestly say in the grand scope of things, there is more PvE content than PvP.
Building constructs, exploration, mining... creating different services to sell to other players... bunch of stuff for PvE minded folk
