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.
It’s pretty fuckin wild to only be able to install five games on an entire terabyte
Storage and download speeds (for a lot of people) have not kept up with the increase in game install sizes. If the average storage space has doubled but the average install size has quadrupled in the same time, you’re worse off in terms of what you can install

Well that wouldn’t work if they were all 200 GB like this, would it?

For AAA games, it absolutely has trended that way. Smaller-budget games haven’t done this nearly so much of course, but it’s no longer even slightly unusual to see indie games with 20+ GB install sizes.
Games are absolutely trending that way. Off the top of my head I can name a ton of games that are > 100GB
It’s becoming more and more common. I have a 2TB NVME SSD exclusively for games and it’s full with ~10 games on it
