Sea Of Thieves jettisons half its cargo – a reason to return?

Remember Sea of Thieves, Rare’s piratical, sandbox sorta-MMO? I do, what with reviewing it and all, but only as if a dream. Emotive, fragmentary scenes of waves and sunset and accordions. A blissful boredom. Actual detail of the things I did, found or fought? Not a bit of it. Maybe there were some skeletons once?

I think often of going back, part in curiosity about whether its many updates have added meaningful #content, and mostly because standing on the prow of a lonely boat, staring at the quiet horizon, is deeply appealing in These Times. I usually make it about half way through the long 50GB download before the impulse fades, or life gets in the way. Now that it’s suddenly been slimmed down to ‘just’ 27GB, I reckon it could well be a sailor’s life for me once more.
