In not saying all game devs do this but it's becoming a trend and bad one at that.

Remember when devs used to rewrite entire games to optimize it enough to make expanded editions fit on one cartridge/disc?
Raytracing…
Make excuses about baked lighting and ***needing*** raytracing
Hardware companies: people dont need more vram
Cities Skylines II at its best..
Naw its more DLSS and fake frames…
Train Sim World.
OP, how much you know about game development?
Todd howard “get better pc”
PC players when the recently released game won’t run on 15 year old hardware:
They promised you no loading screens with SSDs, but decided to cram higher fidelity assets instead. Now you have both loading screens and no free space on your drive.
Want to specify actual games? Because games do get more demanding, but that’s the nature of these things.
Cities Skylies 2 was poorly optimized. There are games you can point to and they run more poorly than they should.
But a game simply having higher requirements doesn’t mean it’s poorly optimized.
DLSS 4 Frame Generation, Fake Frames & Fake Optimization!
Nothing beats 2013 – 2019 graphics
CS2. The fact this game runs shit on anything except X3D chips is crazy. And even on X3D chips the performance is still crap.
Man fuck Valve
vote with your wallet!
Its wild how excited I become now when I hear a game is in an engine OTHER than UE5
Monster Hunter Wilds
A 2015 looking game with 2030 requirements
There is no time to optimize when game is consumable to be thrown in the garbage bin of the void realm. When after 20h of rushing and skipping the all cutscene, the average gamer is content of his purchase and move to the next one.
99.998% of game are mass-produced entertainment. Their are not a piece of art in intend to advance, have a impact, innovate and be original. Its what will print money the best with the much BS shit you can put in it that you can use as marketing material to sell it. Put as much gimmick to it as possible. Offering what was already been made 99.998% of the time at a lower cost as the cost of development become lower as tools get more powerful and accessible to novice.
Gamer will be happy if the percieve quality of a title is signly greater and will howl to Goty at perpetuity since thier have a redfish memory and don’t actual play at all the games they bought
Even that most people never finish any game at all. 5 years later, still only 37% of people that purchased Cyberpunk as completed the Main story.

The elden ring achievement stat is very similar, >_>
Even The great loved Baldur gate 3 that is still a Bug infested game in Act 3. 60% of people did not reach act 3.
Best example is Doom: Dark Ages. Worst graphic and higher requirments.
Also required specs : These apply only for 30 fps 1080p with dlss turned on ultra performance
Optimization is one of the biiig reasons why I still play Overwatch. The game is just so smooth even for friends with older machines. It has gotten worse with becoming OW2 and going fully live-service, more and more bugs cropping up every patch, but it’s still for the most part a buttery smooth experience.
