Games are going to have 100+ gigabyte install footprints later this decade, and terabytes when 8K gets here. Phones, tablets, vr headsets and cheap computers - especially cheap steam boxes - will have to rely on streaming.
- Tiksi 11y agoI recently bought a 5tb hdd for $130. I don't think storage is going to be the issue.
- benologist 11y agoDoes that HDD fit in your VR headset? Phone? Tablet? Their constraints are why streaming will matter. That and multi-day download time vs on-demand.
- Tiksi 11y agoThe gpu needed to play games on a VR headset doesn't fit on it, thats why they plug into a computer. And for something that fits in a phone/tablet, a 64GB microsd card is $30. 64 GB on something the size of a fingernail for $30. 10 years ago a 60GB 3.5" hdd cost more than that . Storage expands and gets cheaper at a crazy fast rate.
