For example, both Final Fantasy XVI & STALKER 2 take up 152GB & 165GB on my 2TB external SSD. I mean, why are steam games HUGE as f*ck regarding their file sizes lately? Don’t even mention CoD (200GB?!), even with the fastest internet connection: you can’t bypass patience as these things take up time. For me, it took me about 2 days to finish (pause & resume download). I’ve finished installing KCD II (Royal Edition) and that was 85GB (took up 8-12 hours with fast internet, I was binge watching a TV show on Prime Video the entire time).
Bruh it’s literally how tech advances…
When resources (compute power) is cheap, there’s huge leaps in tech. When resources are scarce, the fat gets trimmed.
It’s not optimism, it’s pattern recognition.
when have we seen gaming resources become more scarce?
