Um, it sounds completely the opposite. It sounds like he's saying "steer away from these hyped up, unoptimized games and go play something better"
Why can't it be both? Get an upgrade and steer clear of AAA games for the first year.
Not everyone can afford to get an upgrade, we don't know what people are going through. This post is great for those people.
A good CPU upgrade here would cost like $150-200, hardly a lot given the cost of the games OP listed. The best they could go for being the 5800X3D, it's still a gaming powerhouse and a great upgrade for users on AM4.
There's only so much you can do to squeeze performance from years old hardware, upgrading is an eventual need you have to consider.
A CPU upgrade isn't going to help with the issues they described. The games are just not optimized properly. Even people with high end, current hardware are having the same issues
You are correct, the games are just shit.

Obviously upgrading is fine and dandy, though also it might imply a motherboard upgrade too and such. I'm not saying upgrading is useless or anything, it's just good to have options without shelling out for the best hardware just to be able to play unoptimized games that run like trash. Maybe you're content with how your computer runs and you don't want to upgrade just to play a couple of games.
Keep in mind that if you upgrade your computer, then you still need to buy the games.
I think it's safe to assume OP is not a pirate, given they mentioned both game pass and a sale :D
They are in a good spot for a CPU upgrade, with the socket being the same, they can jump 3 generations of CPUs for a drastic uplift in performance as it's bottlenecking their GPU atm. It's the most cost-effective part in this case as they wouldn't need to upgrade their motherboard at all, perhaps just a new cooler depending on what they have already.
To be honest I tunnel visioned in my argument and forgot to read the current specs of OP ๐ But I was trying to apply my argument for people in general, not just OP.
