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

Because allegedly the new employees can't comprehend it

i mean thats just not true lmfao

its simply because its very hard to develop new content on it and its insanely hard to maintain in house engines

you have multiple talks on this topic by cd projekt veterans

its something the developers have been complaining since witcher 3

do you people not remember what a shitshow cyberpunk was on release? lmao

and not just cyberpunk

witcher 3 was a disaster on launch

witcher 2 was even worse

UE5 games are often just about as broken as cyberpunk on release. Cyberpunk was a shit show because it was released a year early, not because of the engine. Clearly, now that its actually finished, cyberpunk shows the value of using an in house engine. Its gorgeous and runs perfectly.

Corporate just ran the numbers and quickly realized that its a lot cheaper to use UE5 to make the next game since people are trained on it in school. They can save a bunch of money they would use training new folks to use red engine. Its not a great mystery, that's the entire reason UE5 is eveything now.

2077 was a shit show because they promised it would release on last gen consoles and by god could they not handle it. 

[u/Cruxis87 → u/topturo77]

because they spent over 10 years making it for those systems. The PS5 and XBwhatever had only released 4 months before cyberpunk. And that was after 9 months of cyberpunk being delayed. How were they going to release the game on systems that weren't even being sold.

Because game studios don’t get system specs on release…
