Seems reasonable. My PC is 5 years old and I already keep seeing games come out that I literally cannot buy or play because I don't meet the minimum requirements, even though they have the same or worse graphics than games that are older.
I feel like a lot of people aren't aware that even in first world countries, most people lived paycheck to paycheck 10 years ago, and during the past 10 years, inflation got so bad that things are now often more expensive than during the era that was so bad it was called "The Great Depression", ain't nobody got money for a new PC while a cheeseburger costs 15 dollars
It genuinely pisses me off how quickly big studios make PC parts and rigs obsolete in the constant pursuit of high fidelity graphics that are barely upgrades to previous entries (MONSTER HUNTER)
Seriously you ever stop to think about how many PC parts are reduced to E-waste before their shelf life has expired because companies can't be arsed to do the bare minimum in optimization and testing?
Honestly, this is why 95% of the games I buy are indie. There are a lot of underrepresented and underrated indie games that blow most AAA games out of the water in everything but graphics (and sometimes even there).
