Hi all! I found that all binaries, for example, in HL2 (and other Source games) is not stripped. Stripping binaries will decrease size of bin/ directory.

Or it non-stripped for debugging purposes?

Also. I stripped binaries in bin/ folder. It's size changed from 92 MB to 86 MB.

I imagine its so that people can debug their issues when they come across them, although I agree that it should be put into a separate steam branch (like 'stable-debug'). If your running on low disk space/ low cpu then this could be useful.

If this goes ahead, please make it so that there is a public debug branch that is built and published without additional developer intervention. It would come down to debug publish, strip, main publish.

Nothing extracted yet.
