    Tho shit has changed since then. The quality of audio and video has increased. Especially on the visual side this takes a lot more storage. More polygons and more pixels equal larger size.

    Also, if I remember correctly, data is often stored in multiple places to make it more efficient to read it from BluRay or HDDs.

    Tho, with SSDs now in everything, the second thing will probably die out.

        You can only optimize 4K textures so much that they drop right back to “FHD” or sub HD quality. 4K is big.

      That’s a bad thing and we can and should go back.
