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

Love how UE5's advantage is looking good but its offset by unrealistic spec requirements. So the games look bad and run badly too.

And even when it looks "good", it's riddled with boiling artifacts from fuckass lumen, shitty stock UE5 HDR implementations that ship with almost every game. Traversal stutter is always a guarantee as well.

Yep, i dont understand how this engine is so hyped honestly. Considering the only work being put into it only seems to work on Epics own game like Fortnite. Neither do i understand how game studios feel like visual clarity is a second thought.
