We already know hosting services are getting more expensive over time, imagine ISP's and even devs own hosting space for when their games have to be uploaded to go live, just imagine the inflation of file size within the next 5-10yrs, it's going to get even sillier than it is currently. It's already a pain for me having to download even a 10gb patch for a game like Sea of Thieves, where I'm having to wait a few hrs to download it. If I for example, wanted to reinstall GTA V now, I'm looking at a day, maybe a day and a half tops to download, and that's without a net cap. I honestly just want cartridges to come back or something similar that isn't a disk drive (I removed mine to remove my old drive bay once I upgraded to SSD's and needed more airflow space, so the disk drive had to go). |
That's a pity. I remember those days. Can you get 5G? That changed digital gaming for me completely, I can download a 42 gig game in just about an hour at the best of times, did it earlier today. It takes longer to get GoW ragnorok to install off the disc than it did that.
Oh and starlink is up to over 5g speeds now for 50 euro a month if you don't have access to proper 5g. 220 Mbs, that's like 40% better. You'd have GTA5 in an hour easy.
