Because it isn't 2006 anymore.

>50 gb Wolfenstein TNO download

No reason a 10 hour game should take up that much space. Whatever, the game sucked anyway.

Game Devs want to make better graphics.
One of the things needed for better graphics is higher resolution textures.
Higher resolution textures take up more space.

I know for a fact that PC Titanfall was 50GB because of the uncompressed audio for all the languishes.

I remember when video game installers used to have options to not install everything unimportant.

Digital downloads need to follow suit, especially those fucking games that do a separate FMV for each language, instead of one video source with multiple audio tracks.

Megatextures with about 42gb of irrelevant duped textures because no studio in their right mind is going to paint every single individual wall, nook, and cranny.
