      They stream data from it while you play, so if you don’t have an SSD you’ll get pauses in game play.

        Sure, you might.

        But Baulder’s Gate 3 for example, which claims to require an SSD in it’s system requirements runs just fine on a HDD.

        It’s just the developer making sure you get optimal performance.

          Okay well try telling that to my computer when the games wouldn’t run without constantly freezing to load assets every few seconds.
