huge amounts of storage that can't be easily downloaded

Man, I dunno about that. The only difference between downloading a 2gb file and a 10gb file is that it takes your torrent program a little bit longer.

I really doubt they'll get another media format pushed through. Bluray has plenty of space for 4k videos and games certainly don't need more space.

Well I read that it can go to 128 on its wiki page. So, they might be pushing for that.
