it's a utility which basically combines steam mover with a ram disk in a simple fashion

so basically when you set it up it will copy the game's data folder (or the parts of it you tell it to, it can skip video files and other doesn't-need-max-speed files) to your ram disk and basically give you the fastest possible load times (although since its contents are flushed on boot and it's not that big there would effectively be a "bootup time" as game files are copied to ram). No idea if it gives you a useful bump over an ssd or not

it would only improve load times (after the initial loading to the ram disk), right? because assuming you have enough ram to hold all the game's active data in memory it's not going to be any faster?

i can't imagine that the sort of person who buys that product ever actually shuts their game down anyway

it...might offer some form of improvement for games which do loading within the game but that's a really niche thing that generally doesn't matter

it'll actually break some games. nevermind that you can just make a ramdisk for free and the performance diff between that and an ssd is negligible
