Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' (www.pcgamer.com)

if you're running new games off a hard drive in 2023, todd is absolutely right and you should just spend the 50 bucks on an ssd

SSDs have been the standard for like a decade

A 4TB HDD is still significantly cheaper than a 4TB SSD.

yeah, and the only reason hard drives have been viable for games for so long is that consoles had slow storage so cross-platform games needed to be able to work with it. pc gamers will literally complain about consoles holding games back and then complain about games running poorly on their 10 year old hard drive when consoles aren't holding games back anymore.
