Out of curiosity, what games take up so much space? I’m assuming modern ones.
You can easily downloaded a torrent of all games before the CD era and it’ll fit nicely in a few TB.
They have every available variant of every game, so there are anywhere between 2-10 copies of the same game for each console it was released on.
Plus all the original Xbox games I’ve seen there are raw disk dumps, they have to be converted to xiso and that shaves off several GB per disk when completed.
My PS2 archive is around 2,9TB compressed, so “modern” is relative. PS3/XboxOne is a multitude of that.
Shit, you could probably fit everything before the DVD era on a single drive.
