On the one hand, Starfield is 128 GB, so it would have taken a rather expensive 2 dual-layer 66 GB blu-ray discs or a single 128 GB quad-layer blu-ray disc to fit the whole game on discs anyway. On the other hand, there are gamers out there who are still on sub 10 mbit/s internet, neither fast enough to stream the game while downloading nor download the game quickly. I know someone who games who is still on 1.5 mbit/s DSL and it is the only thing available at his address other than Satellite internet such as Starlink (which costs $600 to install and $120 a month), and on 1.5 mit/s a 128 GB download takes 189 hours at the fastest, longer in reality because you never get your maximum speed the entire time. It's a good thing that Starfield has a pre-install already.
