The Original GOTY edition was 5.3-5.4GB depending on language. Elden Ring with DLC is 60GB. How much fucking horse armor are they stuffing in this? (hexbear.net)

Not being limited by physical media has ruined everything, frankly

Nah, I'm putting this squarely on executives being dogshit at actually managing game development for the purpose of appeasing shareholders.
