> Lack of SSD surprises me, one would think Gary Newman (creator of Garry's Mod) had need.

I don't know if a quality SSD would play well with the size of modern games.

Most mid-high level gamers use SSDs already, myself included, yes you cannot store TBs of games but why do that when you have Steam.

Because a huge hard drive is presumably cheaper than the Garry Newman time spent deciding to remove games instead of working on fun projects.

It's the same reason I simply archive every email instead of deciding what to keep and what to trash.
