What the fuck is going on with modern game sizes? Do I really need to get a 10tb SSD to future proof for fucking video games? How many SD cards do I need to grab for my steamdeck?

This shit is retarded.

the funny thing is this is a bad optimization problem.

they cant do compression because it involves extra cpu time.

so the bloat is on purpose to make your cpu work less because its not decompressing in real time

its like how ps4 games used to be huge because they would dupe game files to make the hard drive seek less.

Because your apparently mandatory bajillion k resolution, open world, and every other modern gaming meme don't fit in a nice small file size anymore
But hey, at least gaming is PrEmiuM now, so enjoy your shiny jingle keys bloatware :D
