PlayStation 4 Now Automatically Downloads Full Games If You Enabled ‘Featured Content’
"The PlayStation 4 now seemingly downloads entire games that you haven’t even bought yet if you have enabled the ‘Featured Content’ option in Settings > System > Automatic Downloads.
This certainly won’t sit well with gamers. With the file size of games constantly on the rise, gamers are always trying to juggle hard drive space between the games they’re currently playing and they won’t be happy to find out that their console decided to occupy even more space with a game they can’t even play.
Moreover, some Internet Service Providers have monthly data caps, which makes things even worse in this specific case. Hopefully, Sony will see reason and scale back on what seems like a needlessly intrusive advertisement. In the meantime, you might want to make sure that it’s disabled in your settings."

I imagine the thinking is that users are more likely to pull the trigger on a purchase if they can begin playing immediately, rather than waiting for a 50gb download to finish.
It’s not been thought through at all though - HDD space is at an absolute premium on any PS4 model. Dumb move, it needs to be switched off by default.

In that case, why not just download the initial parts of these featured games? The user can still start playing immediately and less space is used. I'm sure these featured games aren't flagged as low priority and automatically deleted if the user actively downloads/installs something. No, of course not.
