Why are games so big now?

You’re trying too hard to make this a meme on /v/

because they've all got battle passes and dailies and regular shop updates to keep you engaged and spending money. they don't want you playing too many other games or else you might stop playing there's, and then you're not a potential paying customer

Devs cannot into compression. The Switch versions of the RE games should not be over 10GB.

If you're seeing multiple posts about the same topic over a long period of time have you ever considered you're here too much and need to get a life?

They're vying for virtual realestate. Once upon a time they vyed for shelf space in retail outlets. Now they vie for storage space in the belief you will only have 1-2 big games installed (because tiny storage on consoles) so they effectively want to bully other games off of your system.

That is 100% the truth, i've been in the big publisher meetings where it was discussed.

the more HD space their game takes up the less likely you are to install a competitor's game

I honestly don't understand people who say 1TB is too little space, like wtf, why they need 30+ games sitting in their SSD at all times

Because every game now thinks it's a "live service platform" and wants to cram in 4K textures, motion-captured cinematics longer than movies, 80GB of uncompressed audio, and a Battle Royale mode no one asked for. You get 10 minutes of gameplay and 120GB worth of bloat. Welcome to gaming 2025, where even the menus need a patch.

Helldivers 2 before they fixed it

The physical media limit is very high or nonexistant, and nobody is telling devs to make things smaller.

So you get uncompressed lossless 7.1 audio in 20 fucking languages because they can.
