And that’s just comparing the storage, nevermind one being a vastly faster NVME drive that also takes up less space, is more power efficient, and doesn’t have two annoying cables to manage.
IMO huge file sizes are more of a download speed issue than a storage issue
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
Cyberpunk is like 70GB
And Starfield is more than twice that. It’s ridiculous.
There’s no reason for it.

And SSDs are ludicrously cheap now.
My first SSD was 240GB, for £300. (£1.25/GB)
I can get a 2TB one now for £64. (£0.032/GB)

Sometimes my internet goes down to 100Mbit/s and I have to fiddle with my switch to get it back to gigabit.
Life is a nightmarish hellscape.
Do you have like solid number of reasonable gigabytes a game can be? How did you arrive to this number exactly?

And that size was outrageous just 5 years ago.
