for AAA titles, installing and running them already feels like a burden. PC games use to ship on 700 MB CD and 4 GB DVD and I think it’s insane to see more than 2 discs in a box. Developer have to save every triangle on the model and every MB of texture memory to work on limited resource. Now they just ship 8k full LOD and let UE handle the optimization part. Won’t complain if it works good.
I love Tekken but 130+GiB for one online versus game is absurd!
I wonder how much smaller it’d be if the models, textures and UI elements were optimised for 1080p, too.

80 GB for one game is not ideal
Baldur’s Gate 1 came out on 5 discs in 1998. Big games aren’t new.
