Even without the resolution issue, this is the equivalent of the 1970s logic that labor-saving office machinery would reduce the length of the white-collar work week. This was a legitimate thing people who should've known better believed and confidently predicted, completely overlooking the obvious fact that what would really happen was that if office work became 10 times more productive, employers would simply demand 10 times the output--or MORE, as the ease of the gain overwhelmed whatever vestigial sense of proportion they might already have had. Result: It's 2020 and white-collar workers have become online Victorian woollen-mill operators.

Similarly, reducing the size requirement of source files will only make software (and not just game) developers feel free to chuck ever more of them in there.
