To be fair, GTA also isn't the size of Earth while using extremely high resolution satellite images as textures.

Small clarification: Satellite imagery is only used where higher quality aerial photography isn't available. For cities with full photogrammetry, a plane needs to fly over the whole area twice (the second time at 90 degrees relative to the first pass) in order to capture buildings from all sides.
