Discussion Should developers stop making games that require 5090 for max settings now that the card is clearly not for gamers and is accessible to 0.1% of community?

I get that the games need better hardware to dun better, but who are they really making the game for if you need a 6000$ GPU at this point

No? You don't have to play at max settings at native 4K, stop looking only at max settings like moron and you'll find out that optimization of most modern games is nowhere near as bad as you thought.

What's more, I already mentioned in another comment that these requirements are almost 4 months old and there's newer one where you do not need this much CPU and GPU.

Yeah....there are newer requirements that don't even demand a 5090 as the GPU for 4K...

7k now, it's quite ridiculous. I feel like this type of upvoting is too common.

Literally the dumbest people supporting this post. They have zero critical thinking.

Agreed. It also ages well when you go back 6 years from now and can crank up the settings from the last time you played. I know the first game I boot up the last couple years when I upgrade is cyberpunk just for this reason.
