The thing is games aren't becoming bigger because of more content, they're becoming bigger because the way things work isn't due to epic shaders, these games are built with unoptimized pre-bought asset packs that don't mesh with the game itself. They're also not compressing their audio (which when done right loses none to almost no audio quality), they keep making open world games while not downsizing on models (again, not optimizing them either) and including literal bloatware sometimes. The engines they're using are also sub-optimal and have not been updated to address memory issues.

Still crazy that that adds up to so much storage, but I've never made a AAA game myself, so🤷♂️

Optimization is definitely a big reason for games getting so big, 100%
Five. Hundred. Gigabytes
Yup, not okay
435 GB is insane lmao
Right?? Unbelievable
