It’s been a thing for a while now. Hell, you should even be running an SSD for Windows these days.
HDD isn’t suitable for modern systems, except for cheaper mass storage.
Yes, I wouldn't run any OS off of anything slower than an SSD.
I was just wondering when it became a "requirement" for games instead of just a good thing to do.
It became a requirement after the Xbox Series and PS5 consoles included SSDs and developers started taking advantage of that.
The beginning of the end for HDD gaming was probably the PS5 release, it’s been an afterthought since then.
