To be fair, people need to set their priorities straight. Even though these are marketed as ‘gaming’ hardware, are they actually?
I have an RTX 4060 8GB VRAM that seems to have people hating all over it, but I don’t see the point, currently, to buy another GPU. It runs smoothly enough every single game I’ve attempted to run it, including stuff like Alan Wake 2. There’s also the fact that most AAA games that demand a strong hardware are barely worth playing.
But as long as ‘gamers’ keep fixating on the idea that gaming can only be enjoyable when they own the best hardware to run things on 4k, 120fps, almost zero input delay, and whatever the fuck else the market sells as essential for a ‘true gaming experience’, that’s what you get: extremely overpriced hardware, that will never feel enough.
That’s not exactly true. Gamers have always been like that, but entry level cards didn’t cost like high end ones like they do now. That only happened in recent years.
Same experience with my 3070, and expect it to be the situation for a good while still.
Considering where I’m posting this, maybe it’s sacrilege, but I just don’t think it makes business sense to develop a triple A game that can’t run on the consoles - and console cycles have gotten really long.

I’m still getting by on just a Steamdeck. I don’t own a computer otherwise, and my console really just plays a game or two.
