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

To be fair native 4K 60fps is a damn task, most games require serious hardware for that

EXACTLY!!! Average consumers see 4K and 8K stickers on their PlayStations and think this is the average not knowing there’s is heavily upscaled, 4K native is a massive amount of rendering, don’t quote me but I think it’s roughly 4x the pixels being rendered than 1080. It’s literally like running the same game 4 times.
