Prediction: The Western Game Dev bahavior of making 100+ GB sized games is going to come under a lot more fire in the near future.
It was always a kinda BS practice before, but Hard Drive space is about to get precious in a way game devs had better get ready for or they're gonna suffer way more serious backlash for it than they're used to.
