Steam Games size.

[JYOTISH]

Valve Corporation, can your teams please do something about the ridiculously large Steam Games storage sizes. 90 Gigabytes or more for a single game is excessively large.

It is becoming ridiculous and bad too store modern AAA Computer Games.

I already used 2 hard drives, 1 Terabyte each, to backup and store, less than 50 Computer games. This is completely unacceptable.

Valve has no control over game sizes nor how developers use compression.

What do you expect Steam to do about the size of games? No need for 50 massive games installed at once, just install less at one time. Steam can't shrink games

Don't let them see Forza Horizon's 5 size, they'll get a seizure.

[Unexpected]

it's up to the developers to decide how big they want their games to be, steam is just the marketplace that enables the sell of them

This is a suggestion forum to Valve. People can respond explaining why a suggestion is good, bad, or doesn't work.

In the case of this suggestion, Valve does not have control over the size of the game. The size of the game is up to the developer.

Imposing a size limit will just cause the developer to put in a launcher to download the game, which people already do not want.

There is nothing substandard about 90 GB single-player games. That number has been steadily growing on games for a long time now, and it's not going to stop.

I understand. However please be considerate. Also consider that it is simpler to contact Steam Support with this, rather than going to each game developer, individually and asking them to lower the storage size of their games.

Steam Support has no control over game sizes. Valve can not dictate how big or how small a game has to be.

Again, Steam isn't going to force devs to adhere to a certain size. Steam is very big about letting devs have control over their product. Remember, they are customers as well.

No one here is trolling you. They are telling you that the size of the game isn't decided by Valve/Steam.

That is literally the truth of the situation.

What "golden age"? Ask 10 people about it and you get 10 different answers. For me the golden age of gaming started late 80s and is still ongoing.

Valve only has power over the size of games developed or published by Valve. They have no control over 3rd party games.

Plus it's normal that over time games get bigger sizes, especially with games becoming more detailed, larger in scope (open world, for example), higher resolutions, etc.
