For me at least, I don’t mind stuff requiring an SSD, it’s just the sheer size of the games that bothers me. I get games being larger because they have so much more going on now, but so many games are averaging 100gb+ these days and that’s just the base game, throw in DLCs and whatever else and it’s just insane.
Yeah, no I get you. When I was reviewing Ratchet and Clank, that pretty much required an SSD. The game would constantly crash for me because it was on an HDD. At least BG3 has a “hey click here if you’re on a hdd” button which helps to try and make the game perform a little better, but so many other games are just like “ha you’re on your own buddy!”. I was happy that R+C was a small enough size to fit on my c drive, but still. Like BG3 and Starfield are both 100+gb. I miss the days of Skyrim being under 15gb even with all the DLCs installed.
