Ha, I thought I would be ok for a while after increasing my bandwidth cap to 500GB a month last spring. It sounded like a lot 5 months ago. Yet shared with my streaming kids, I still won't be able to download these kinds of games. Heck a few years ago my cap was still 80GB a month... How did we ever survive.

But honestly it is not so bad for games,  Don't take 4k movies around 100 GB? I remember one of the first 4K movies surpassing 150 GB.

Netflix streams them at around 18 mbps with HDR, that's 7.9 GB per hour or 16GB for a 2 hour movie.
4K UHD discs can hold upto 100GB Not all of that is for the movie as it includes multiple soundtracks and extras.

The first 4K movie was 330GB for a 52 minute movie in 4096x2304 12 bit cineform format.

4K UHD is still very lossy compressed compared to that, that file runs at over 800 mbps, compared to max 128 mbps for 4K UHD discs.

It wouldn't be so bad for games if they came on 4K UHD discs, and installed to a 2Tb SSD drive :)
