     @Zerglingman real, this is the first time I've seen SSD being required to play the game.

     @MK2boogaloo means the game is chungus and they want you to use an SSD so you don't die from dopamene insufficiency in a loading screen.

     @icedquinn first time I'm seeing that in system requirement. Game's system requirements lately just get ridiculous.

     @MK2boogaloo SSD required? Does that mean the game puts too much load on your hard drive? Which would shorten the life of your SSD anyway?

     Its a trick cuz people are dumb they can sell x,y,z products that need storage for much less if they give you just enough space cuz people are dumb and will buy a 500 dollar system but fuck your 700 dollar system but then they spend another 3 or 4 hundred on ssd upgrades. Tbf this is one of the times that people deserve what they get.

     Probably means it would freeze up on hdd due to loads of big textures and such needing to be loaded

     Reads don't really do that much. Constant writes are way worse for SSD lifespan.

     @ThisFuckinGuy @MK2boogaloo @Dan_Hulson i'm guessing its because most gaming hardware has SSDs at this point and its not worth anyone's time optimizing for rarely used platter drives.

     Honestly idk anymore. The gaming industry is so fucked right now. Idk if its incompetent coding or if its them trying to fool people into thinking their 70 bucks were well spent if the main game is 8 hrs but look you can prattle away 120 hrs on side quests.

     I only use hdds for storing files long term. The OS and all the programs I use I have on an m.2 ssd, it's not 2008 anymore lol.

     Perhaps a skill issue but this is kinda unavoidable if you wanna have a huge world with big textures, hq sounds and so on.

     @dushman they can make it more optimized. It's possible. With 4k textures, HQ sounds etc.

     @ThisFuckinGuy @MK2boogaloo @Dan_Hulson apparently people want that. CDPR talked about the analytics of Witcher 3 and people get poopy diapers if the main story takes 100 hours.

     @dushman meh, still their problem. Why would you not expect them to do their best? Their games aren't even playable to most people.

     Yeah there's that part but it's also inherent if you want to include that stuff, only optimizable up to a point and it's probably not their top priority to perfect it in that regard.
