It's so expensive to upgrade...

play indie games

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.

80 GB for one game is not ideal

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.

Baldur's Gate 1 came out on 5 discs in 1998. Big games aren't new.

Ryzen 5, 3600 and 1660 Super team, ASSEMBLE... A NEW MACHINE!

Most of them are just UE5 games and I can tweak the engine.ini file to kill some of the new features that make it run like ass like Lumen. The ones using their own shit, tho... ugh. 😩

I built a new high end system a couple years ago, and I'm glad I did, since it may have to last for the foreseeable future.

I guess you're not wrong, it definitely wasn't cheap. I bought the components during a Black Friday sale, so I was able to save several hundred, though.
