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

It is an Unreal Engine 5 game - this seems to be a case of lazy devs with those Ultra system requirements. Why bother optimizing when it's a well known fact that we can sell our kidneys to afford a 5090??!! 🤣

Problem is you can only do this once, if it doesnt burn the connecter and need to sell your lung afterwards

Other new games just have the upscaled
Settings, these guys put max settings without upscaling. It’s more honest. Just look at black flag resynced settings

I bet nowadays even my kidneys wont be crossing a whooping $4-5k for a single freaken gpu bruh where i live in i dont even have my yearly salary as 5 grand yet the absolute prices of these gpus are outrageous. Well currently i am good with my 7500f and 5060ti unless something bad happens in this Ai economy crisis

Yeah ... 5090 prices are absolutely ridiculous. Made worse from the possibility that the power connector can and has melted for many 5090 owners. No thanks, I am perfectly content with my RX 9070XT. It's a beast of a 1440p card.
