Most prbly not, because with this step they'd have to ensure the lowest common denominator will run the games. Which in turn means devs will be restrained by the lowest common denominator. Which will be conventional PC hardware with mechanical hard drive. |
No, every PC game has minimal specs. If they include a mandatory SSD in the minimal specs, devs aren't restrained by mechanical HDDs anymore.
The share of gamer PCs with SSDs has grown a lot over the last years and SSDs have gotten a lot cheaper. So the hardware base of "SSD gamer PCs" will be big enough for 2020/2021 games, allowing SSDs as mandatory requirements for new AAA games.
