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

Counterpoint: If not having room for a $70 game because there's a $60 game already on there (which also isn't normally a problem for him because his main gaming system is his $500 gaming console) is an issue, then the article is already being written from a position of privilege.

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.
