These lightning fast nvme drives offer virtually nothing for gaming as there just is no difference over normal sata ssds in real world tests.
And not everyone is like you, not everyone wants these for gaming.

Um... call me a cynic but I work in 3D and while changing to a faster drive will make a difference in overall performance I question the 11 hour reduction just by changing to the Optane over an already relatively fast SSD... I'm guessing there's some 'special sauce' at play there.
I'd also have more concern with a games coding if it can't play smooth on a normal ssd....so intel saying Star citizen gameplay will stay smooth to me says that SC is poorly written.
I think this is an exciting technology but in 3-5 years when it's cost competitive with SSDs. I would have loved to use optane + HDD but I was on Z170 and now I'm on Ryzen so ... no chance.
These larger devices will have various use cases but I hope they can get them mainstream quite soon.

Be Careful on the Internet! I ran and tackled a drive by mining attack today. It's not designed to do anything than provide fake texts (say!)
unfortunately rendering nowadays is more GPU focused.
Would have been nice with a 120GB version just for OS install, as a gaming drive like others have already said I dont see the point.
