blobcat“Call of Duty Black Ops 6 will be aproximately 309GB to install”
Physical releases of games are going to make a comeback in the future and they’re going to be hard drives with one 1 TB game you need to put in to your computer.
0x4d6165 (Julie or Mae)@blobcat Baldur's Gate 3 is halfway there
Ghost 🇺🇦@0x4d6165 @[email protected] true but it's a good game
@[email protected] hard drives? we're going back to tape drives baby, by 2030 you're gonna have to spend 10 hours offloading the game off your newly delivered tape drive as it revs up loud enough for neighbors to start filing noise complaints and right onto your brand spanking new pcie 7.0 ssd listed in the minimum requirements without which the game takes half an hour to load between regions
kuro-chan 🏳️⚧️ @blobcat 309GB and the game will suck just like any other Black Ops past 2

I believe that. That's not to mention the compute farm that's needed to run the LLM that orchestrates the game mechanics

conor: conor edition@blobcat game cartridges have made a comeback, now on PC! they have sata connectors
Rairii (bootloader unlocked, MSR_LE set)@blobcat with one tiny partition with a small launcher and a windows filter driver to handle the memecrypto used on the rest of the drive of course
Detour@blobcat 1 TB Jaz Drive?
Fancy Sandwiches@blobcat Holy shit. How are they going to manage updates? It's easy for a game to have a small patch that requires copying most or all files while patching. In theory, a patch could result in needing 600GB of free disk space to be applied.

@blobcat 300GB? What.
Gonna take hours to download+install.
Also imagine the absurd amount of Quake games you could fit in 300GB :D

eribosot@blobcat We're close to coming full circle to the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" game for the PC, which came on a diskette that contained not just the game but ITS OWN GODDAMN MINUSCULE OPERATING SYSTEM. You'd put in the disk, reboot your computer, and the machine would boot the OS from disk and run the game.
David Cantrell 🏏@blobcat nothing ever made by humans has had 5 decent sequels, so it doesn't really matter
Varyag@[email protected] and worse, it's ALWAYS ONLINE garbage even in singleplayer for "continuous texture streaming" so the game is potentially bigger than that. They finally managed to create the biggest game ever, potentially infinite size.
alys@blobcat maybe they could put it in a plastic case for protection and so it's easy to swap in and out.
and then maybe they could put some art with the game's name on the plastic case.
The1goit @blobcat no, they'll be SSDs that have to be plugged into a dedicated slot on an overpriced adaptor that has to be bought from the company

@blobcat or we'll see the #NeoFloppy to actually get made:
