Why bother with this game? It would fill up an entire Switch's inner memory and still need more space to function. Is optimization such a big problem nowadays? BotW and Mario Odyssey need way less to function.

You can get a 256gb SD card now for £61 which can store this game rather easily, and sure.... it's huge but then on PS4 you have the likes of Doom (73GB) Infinite warfare (95GB) or Black Ops 3 (101GB) any one of which eats up almost 1/5th of the base model PS4 storage.

Games are bigger now, so is storage and download speeds, a lot of people will "bother" with games this size and far larger.

Yes, but that's another thing. Do they even bother with optimization? Doom on Switch is barely 14 gb, do the other versions need that much space to make it work? And that one is not even the biggest offender by far, games that need more than 100gb are criminal, what happened to optimization? How long is it going to take until we get the first 1tb videogame?

Also, this makes physical games an even better prospect, you'd think game companies would want to make digital as appealing as possible, but with sizes like those, it's the opposite.
