Deflation is beautiful, send more of those
It's only deflated because our storage needs have vastly inflated! This is like 6 AAA games and maybe a couple movies
How many AAA games do you keep installed at the same time? I max out at maybe three, personally. Realistically I'd be more than content with just two: current game + next game.
I like to be able to just pick a random game and start playing, so I always have 100+ games installed.
For a sense of scale the entire Atari 2600 Library could fit on a floppy multiple times over.
I like options damnit!
Yes, and I also think this is because there are more and more storage providers
Honestly storage requirements haven't gone up that much since 2014. Storage speed did go up tho
