 Agreed. Add then the cost-benefit calculation involved. As GPU hardware gets outdated every few years, it is expensive to keep replacing decent GPU's with new GPU's, simply because of a few titles that require them.

The resulting pushback will be gradual, but people have more important priorities than to play complex, overhyped games that inevitably involve microtransactions and require the time of a second job when it comes to multiplayer titles.

The pushback then, is back to basics and also back to the outdoors, similar to how we lived in the 1980'ies and 1990'ies, with some extra dimensions of technology available at an ad-hoc use.
