Ps4 had a mechanical hard drive and I played a few enormous games on that. Don’t remember it being a problem so I don’t think that’s such a hard and fast rule
It’s not. The size of the game isn’t the limiting factor.
Anecdotally, I played Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and occasionally got loading screens while out and about in the open world. I assume the HDD was the cause of this.
There are 20gb games that require much faster medium than retail WoW which is like 80gigs, despite the engines lineage tracing back to when it would’ve been stored on rust made by Maxtor.
You think a mechanical hdd is sufficient for playing a 100gb game? That would be so painful it’s not even funny.
