Any company making games where they're pushing graphics into top graphics card territory for no good gameplay reason can go straight to hell in 2026.

    That seems to be the default for Unreal Engine 5.

    That's my feelings after seeing Expedition 33 on UE5.

    The game was absolutely phenomenal, but there is ABSOLUTELY no reason that that game should've forced me to upgrade my graphics card just to throw extraneous particle effect bullshit over every location that can't even be turned off. It's beyond ridiculous.

    It's gonna bite them in the ass shortly. $70 games that costs $200+ MM to make and despite selling millions of copies don't even break even. If the minimum graphical requirements break the floor of what the average PC gamer owns, sales will plummet and kill the AAAA and AAA product line.
