I have both - I have a VERY powerful rig - but as a matter of principle, this is terrible. My bottleneck ATM is more internet download speed and limits.
A shocking lack of optimization that is now common among modern devs.
I don't know by what merit or metric do you even feel in the position to GUESS a "terrible lack of optimization", let alone explicitly accuse the developers of it.
Maybe the game is just that freaking big. Did the idea even occur to you?

The 150 GB of data is probably a necessity for the amount of content in the game, by that I agree. As someone who has been programming alot and know the workings of the PC in some detail I will allow myself to question the SSD requirement though as a pure necessity. And I do find it suspicious that almost every big game being developed have requirements that require the latest in hardware. It is almost as if the game companies was working with hardware producers to force gamers to upgrade their computer as often as possible? Not good for the environment, and not fair to people who can't afford it.
