        And Starfield is more than twice that. It’s ridiculous.
        There’s no reason for it.

          Starfield is pretty huge though isn’t it? I dunno, it feels like if any games should take that much storage space, it’s a massive space game.

          Do you have like solid number of reasonable gigabytes a game can be? How did you arrive to this number exactly?

            You don’t uNdERstAnD, a game must be less than 1GB in size or it’s unOpTiMiZeD.

            But at the same time, man I’m sick of these last gen/old non raytracing cards are holding us back! Where are my rig melting next gen games?!?! Oh wait I have to download 100GB and still turn down settings to High!?!? unOpTiMiZeD!! furiously leaves bad steam review

      I think the solution to game size (aside from optimization) is breaking up the game into optional downloads. Things like, 4k textures, high poly models, multiplayer, singleplayer etc.
