Sometimes I look at games that are ~40GB in size and wonder how this could happen, but then I remember there are many games now that DEMAND over 100GB of storage just to run the base veresion.. Whoof.

@ridge at one stage ~2013-2020 or so, one of the techniques to get better loading times and streaming on HDD based consoles was to have multiple copies of some assets on the disk to reduce the time the head moved to get a file. This is a neat trick but yes, makes games take even more space up.
