Cyberpunk is like 70GB
And Starfield is more than twice that. It's ridiculous.
There's no reason for it.
And SSDs are ludicrously cheap now.
My first SSD was 240GB, for £300. (£1.25/GB)
I can get a 2TB one now for £64. (£0.032/GB)
And that's just comparing the storage, nevermind one being a vastly faster NVME drive that also takes up less space, is more power efficient, and doesn't have two annoying cables to manage.
IMO huge file sizes are more of a download speed issue than a storage issue
Sometimes my internet goes down to 100Mbit/s and I have to fiddle with my switch to get it back to gigabit.
Life is a nightmarish hellscape.
Do you have like solid number of reasonable gigabytes a game can be? How did you arrive to this number exactly?
You don't uNdERstAnD, a game must be less than 1GB in size or it's unOpTiMiZeD.
But at the same time, man I'm sick of these last gen/old non raytracing cards are holding us back! Where are my rig melting next gen games?!?! Oh wait I have to download 100GB and still turn down settings to High!?!? unOpTiMiZeD!! furiously leaves bad steam review
And that size was outrageous just 5 years ago.
