you're comparing games that used low bitrate audio

It is a weird take. It's a rant meant to amuse.

I'm not actually mad that any game in 2024 takes up 100GB.

I am kinda mad, if it's true, that the development kit takes up 100GB. That's insane to use up 100GB before adding a single piece of the actual game.

I also am a little cranky that a game about cartoon pirates is asking for 100GB.

I've heard it's an amazing game about cartoon pirates. But still...100GB for cartoon pirates. I've never thought to myself "this cartoon game about pirates isn't realistic enough", or "gee, I hope this cartoon game about pirates has full video voice acted cut-scenes."

I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong about this, but I won't find out until I pick up a bigger SD card and don't mind the storage cost so much. (Which I'm not, at this moment, planning to bother doing for this cartoon game about pirates.)
