i have REALLY bad news for all gamers

[🍹🌞🍉2001 SUMMER vibes]

AAA games now are like 100GB

imagine 5 years from now. imagine gta 6. gta 5 is 120GB and that game came out 10 years ago. Red Dead Redemption 2 is also 100GB+.

What will actually happen when games are like 256-500GB??? You cant have more than 1 game installed on your computer - maybe you have to buy a bigger harddrive. and if youre a laptop user you are really screwed :S

Meanwhile Elden Ring is like 45gb and won GOTY. Some devs don't understand how to optimize their games. :cuphead:

It's not about a big size, it's about sending a message. If you paid for it you're going to download the game no matter how long it takes.

PC gaming isn’t cheap. If you can’t afford to stay up on it; buy a console.

I hope you realize file size differences aren't much better on console either, buying console doesn't fix the problem. It makes it less of one, sure, but it doesn't fix it.

Actually most developers wouldn't agree upon this statement. It's you who made it into a road rage.

If the devs could put a price what they estimate they need without subsidize they would say $100 for AAA title.

i have REALLY bad news for all gamers... you did it to yourself

We want more options
We want better graphics
We what better physics
We want bigger worlds
We want more sounds
We want ...

I've seen external HDs now labeled as "Gameing HD" that were 12TB...

Welcome to what "We want" gets, you get what you asked for... be careful what you ask for I guess.

Meh, I have several tb I never filled as I don’t keep every game I bought installed once I finish playing. Easier that way.

[Tonepoet]

I have really good news! Not all of us are interested in playing the newest AAA garbage, so we are not all screwed!

[Bankai9212]

Why do people use the AA labels and fail to realize it won't equal install size? Plenty of AA budget games have some big install sizes. All it means is the budget for the title.

I was thinking about this. It's actually from a video on Tim Pool IRL (youtube) that made me think about it. But with the generation of AI, games could be smaller.

Consider a skyrim game where the land was randomly generated and the storylines all written by AI are all randomly generated and the voices acting...again AI...depending on how big AI are, games could be much smaller.

where is my petabyte m.2 drives, where...

Messaggio originale di Permanent bulking phase:

I have 2 TB of NVMe now all is well. Fibre optic is also under installation, so reinstalling won't take 10 hours to do.

fibre optics, just a wild guess. Delta perhaps.

[ARGH!!]

Where's my 2020s version of blurays that are 200GB big.

Meanwhile, high-storage SATA SSDs are getting closer to HDDs in prices, yet offer 5 times the amount of read/write speed. Let's not mention NVMe SSDs, which depending on the current prices (assuming you grab a quality model) will still offer between 30 to even 60 times the amount of read/write speed, compared to HDDs.
