Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently taking up all the storage space I would give to Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG.

    Same. Those comments are coming from a place of privilege.

    A lot of people in a first world country can’t afford splurges like that anymore. In third world countries it’s even worse. Because of import fees, scarcity, and price gauging, a $60 SSD can easily become $100+. In some countries that’s over half of the average monthly income

      Yup. And with regional pricing, the discrepancy between a game’s price and hardware price is even greater.

      For example, BG3 is around 15 dollars in Argentina, but a 2TB SSD is around 130 dollars.
