>DOOD THE GAME IS 400GB HUGE WTF IS WRONG WITH GAME DEVS

do idiots not realize storage space costs pennies on the dollar now? It's called technological progress, genius.

I think games should come compartmentalized. No point in some shitty 5+ year old PC needing to have the 4k textures installed.

>games require more and more storage
>computer cases come with less and less drive bays

after a point its no longer about how much space it takes but how fucking long it takes to download all this shit, the best internet isnt getting you 1TB in 1 minute

>file sizes keep getting bigger
>publishers start to sell HDDs with one single game on it
>consoles become cartridge again
I can see this happening as a worst case scenario

I don't care, I'm not buying another drive just for 1 game.

This
And depending how incompetent the devs are every update will be 40-400gb as well

>games look like hot doo doo

>all sound files are .wav
>textures are "HD" (ai upscaled to 8192)
>uses .pak files
>updating minor localization file in a hotfix requires you to download 12gb of files

SSDs have just caught up to HDD prices per GB. We had about 15 years of stagnation. At least on consumer level but who cares about cloud storage

the case I bought last year has 4 full-size HDD bays and the motherboard has 2 m.2 sockets

>don't play AAA normieslop
>never run into this issue
It's that easy.

Shit like this has negligible impact on file size. Most of the space is taken up by stuff like models, textures and audio files.

Give me storage with the game then if it's so cheap.
