I've seen this brought up a couple of times regarding modern game sizes and apparently its because since storage is relatively cheap now, studios don't bother to do a lot of compression/optimizing or whatever of their textures and sound files. kinda lame tbh.

My 1080 will probably handle it just fine, however the 150gb disc space omg. The price we pay for 4K textures?
