What an incredibly tone deaf thing to do.

"Here, you poors can have this demo"

    Ah yes, the poors that have an RTX4070 or better for the minimum specs. It's like one of those 4chan edgelords is in charge.

    A tech demo for DLSS 5 that got meme'd on super hard for how terrible it is by gamers and devs, with minimum specs 80-90% of gamers just don't have(RTX4070 or better), featuring a 20 year old video card that ran so fucking hot (though, was admittedly pretty revolutionary at the time) at an insane price point for it's time(599 at launch, 1000 adjusted for inflation) that would be nowhere near comparable to the insane price gouging of today? Top of the line RTX5090 is like 6500 used right now. And the performance gains over the 4090 were super disappointing. Like, holy shit, how is it even possible to be that out of touch???

    It's crazy when the reality is worse than an already sensationalized title...

    Maybe they should make a Store sim where you can go and unwrap food items and maybe pump cheap gas.

    I'd rather they make a "Dump Jensen Huang in a vat of acid multiple times" simulator.

    The best part is you need a 8800 to run the simulator!

    Hmmm… while its technically possbile to have been running Vista in November of 2006 when the card came out, it wasn’t widely available until January 2007.

    I wonder if that could be reported as hate crime on Steam. 🤔

    Why not just make it a PC Builder Sim DLC?

    A simulation you say?
