    In an ideal world the studios would care & you could optionally not download high-rez textures, immediately cutting the download in half, or less than.

    Do you still drive somewhere then do some basic snap-to-aim from cover shooting and then drive some more? Is cousin Roman back?

    The more and more I learn about GTA 6 the less and less I want to play it.

    I do hope it is fun for those who want to play it, this is no longer my cup of tea.

    A “news” telling people the download-size of some game…wow. And it’s slightly bigger than other AAA. Astonishing.

    Download-siizes rose for the last 3 decades, who would have ever expected that…

      Yeah but until recently that tracked the decreasing cost of storage, so you might think devs would be prioritizing lower filesizes now

        Compared to the 3000,- a 20MB drive cost said decades ago, storage is cheap 😁 But you say that as if the big studios care about such things. People will pay full price (or probably higher) anyway. Even if it’d be 1TB download.

          Yeah but compared to 1.5 years ago, storage is up 2x at least. Even HDDs are more expensive than same size NVME SSDs used to be, it seems.

            Everything is closing in at 2x of 1.5yrs ago, so what? Do you use LLMs? Then you’re part of the reason, why are you complaining? Don’t? Then sorry bro…

            Besides, my initial post explicitly said “last 3 decades”, so the reference frame was fitting. Despite not being totally serious…

    I’m not buying it and most of my existing games are 40gb or smaller. Many of my games are actually under 20gb
