Ah, yes. The “let’s bloat our game size to bully other games off your SSD so you’ll be reluctant to ever uninstall it, because reinstalling it would be a big pain, that way you’ll play it indefinitely and give us extra money in micro transactions” strategy.

    I hadn’t played CoD since Advanced warfare and I only probably put 5 hours into that game (skipped PS4 got it on PC)

    I got myself PS5 for Christmas last year and literally could only fit 5 game on my hard drive. And that was with only installing the multiplayer for CoD MW2 on it. Do game developers just expect me to buy a M2 drive that costs the same amount as the console just to be able to store my collection on my console?

    To be honest there is to many distractions with modern CoD. I actually still like the core gameplay but I don’t give a damn about battle pass, weapon xp, or loot drops. But being bombarded with that crap is really underwhelming. I really wish we could just go back to the days of just picking the game mode, and playing the game.

      Are the ones that work for consoles that much more expensive than the ones for pc? For pc you can get 1TB the highest quality brands of m.2 for less than 100 dollars now. And 2TB of the okayest quality brands for a little over 100 dollars.

        Same prices for PS5, they’re just being dramatic. Xbox series storage upgrades are criminally expensive, but they explicitly said they have a PS5…
