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

People really like to use the "it's not the engine but the developer" argument, and it's true to an extent... But when most games on UE5 run like crap, there is only one common denominator in all of these cases.

It really feels like that most of the time, UE5 games that run well, do so in spite of the engine, not because of it.

You think most game devs are being allowed the time to optimize? When they're rushing them to meet deadlines? You people complain about the wrong thing, just howling at the moon. This is not the devs fault.
