        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)

        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

            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?

        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
