... Are there discs that can contain 123GB of data? Should they just start distributing tiny solid state drives you plug in to your pc and play from?

The highest capacity blu ray disc can hold 128GB

Fair point, some games are very big. FFVII Rebirth and Baldur's Gate 3 shipped on 2 discs though, it's not unheard of.

They fit GTA V on a single disk on launch. Sure, textures were blocky and effects looked like piss but you could play the entire game offline.
