AAA studios are relying on huge memory and even frame generation as a crutch for not optimizing their games. Meanwhile NVIDIA/AMD are scamming people with new generation hardware that is hardly better than the previous one but relies on shit frame gen.

The end result is shit unoptimized games requiring more powerful hardware which we don't have because the duopoly figured out they can keep the high margins making obscene priced shit hardware if they just start cheating benchmarks.

The usual tech channels are talking about it a lot now, GN/Hardware unboxed.
