    They really think that if they just refuse to optimize and FORCE people to upgrade then no one will complain, even if the current reality is completely asinine. The specs for 1080p60 are literally my own computer’s specs (I have a Ryzen 7 5800X which is pretty comparable to the 7600). And building a computer brand new exactly like mine would cost you at least 2000 dollars today, it is just not a realistic scenario for the average joe. And I built this computer mostly with used parts. Most people are NOT tech savvy enough to do so without getting scammed.

    I hope this game flops. People really had the hope that with the current RAM/SSD crisis gaming companies would try to optimize their games. Turns out they just want people to go fuck themselves, because how dare you not pay your entire monthly salary to buy yourself more RAM or a brand new GPU from the Great Green Overlord.

      Dont forget this game has been in development for a lot longer than the RAM/SSD price increases have been forseeable - from the perspective of their development cycle the ram upgrade would have been a pretty low cost upgrade.

      There are plenty of games that look great and run smoothly on game consoles. Xbox Series X does well for a system with only 2gb of system ram and 12gb gpu ram. Why bother with pc at this point. Sadly console prices are going to stay the same or go up but it’s not PC level increases.

        Bro what the hell do you think consoles run on, black magic? They need RAM and SSDs too 😭😭 Also the console memory is entirely shared, there’s no separate RAM and VRAM. Because of that you need a good amount of it and it’s not gonna get any less expensive any time soon.
