Is there a way to reduce the game size?
Store page says it's 150 gigs, it's the size of 3 elden rings, that's pretty much a dealbreaker for people who have >512GB SSDs

You should have multiple drives on your system. They're really affordable and easy to install

Plenty of games now are anywhere from 50GB - 120GB or so. This isn't some new thing.
RDR2 on PC is 119-120GB. The store page has always said 150GB, I guess to account for updates as time went on. Look at GTAV, it was around 80-85GB for many years, now it's around 109GB

You really need to start grabbing up 2TB SSD on sale. At least have one of those in your system for Games.

Yea I mean take ARK for example. Even without the extra DLC maps installed the game is well over 150GB. With all the extra maps it's well over 300GB

The Last of Us on PC is going to be around this size as well (approx 100-150GB)

Get used to it.

Why you think people are upgrading to 2TB or 4TB SSD on PS4 PRO or PS5

I store every Game on a DIY-NAS that has 4x 8TB.

For most just having maybe 1x 8TB or so would be enough for their needs. My point here is you do not all games installed to your primary or secondary SSD. You can have them on an external HDD and then when needed, use the Steam move option to put the game onto internal SSD. Then verify it when done and play. When you go to play some newer games and need to free up space, move games you not going to play for a while from the SSD(s) to that large external HDD. It's not hard to do at all. Just requires I better understanding of what you have on your system and where everything is located, then manage it.
