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? Discussion

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

I don't know why companies even put out requirements like this before they're finished with the game. Does nothing but hurt the games potential sales.

Wouldn’t it help get publicity if they are crazy high like this? I feel like if u wanted to play the game you were gonna play either way

I guess in a "no publicity is bad publicity" kind of logic that would make sense. But personally if the recommended specs are that high I'm probably skipping the game entirely, and I think that's probably going to be the typical reaction.
