A couple of questions:
Was the SSD requirement there at the start of EA?
What happens if someone has the EA version but no longer has (or never had) an SSD? A refund after 3 years?
Bonus question:
Has anyone come across an official explanation as to why an SSD is required?
I'm wondering what will happen on release when all the people who have no idea about the SSD requirement try to buy the game. Will there be some sort of warning or hardware check before payment is made?
Also: What if one has an SSD, e.g. used as the system drive, but doesn't want to install the game on that drive?
Like, you can still play the game without a SSD....it'll just be a bit more sucky due to hold ups in cinematics.
