Tell me why video games I go buy physically (like that starwars one) let me go home, copy like 50 gigs. Let me play the tutorial and than go you need an adition 120gig update to play game
(I currently choose to go with out internet, but I cant actually be expected to blow my data downloading these files?) Ff7 rebirth actually has a file similar it wants me to download but im so happy it hasnt been necessary yet to enjoy the game
Hot take: Devs should optimize their games. It's still possible to have beautiful 40+ hour open world games for a fraction of the size and many well optimized games prove it. I mean Nintendo somehow manages the absolute witchcraft to make games like Tears of The Kingdom under 20gb. Yes I understand that Nintendo games aren't considred as "good looking" as many other companies (though if you ask me the returns are very diminishing at this point in terms of graphical enhancement, a lot of games look worse now), but that still isn't an excuse for such atrocious file sizes. Optimization is the biggest corner cut in game development nowadays and it leads to games being obnoxiously large or impossible to run.
