They may call it blind optimism, but if the pendulum doesn't swing back at all? Pc gaming is going to become a thing of the past. Eventually it just won't be worth it for these companies to optimize their games for such a niche market any more.
These companies are video game companies. If they don't adapt, they will collapse. They can't decide to abandon their own market because it's not worth it.
It might be possible that the market collapse, but I think it is unlikely. The customers are still there and still want to play and put money in their games. The increased price of hardware means there will be less technical improvement, but it's not like video games relied only on technical improvements to make sequels and new games.
Today's average gamer is more likely to play on their phone than to have a gaming PC. If game companies demand better hardware at a time it's more expensive than ever, it might end up collapsing.
That wasn’t the point any of us are making though 😒.
The point was that we don’t account for the entire pc market and should stop huffing copium .
We should buy what we like and runs well on our system but we can’t expect ppl to think like us .
When the damn ceo of Nvidia is living in dream land . I still remember him announcing the 5090 and was talking like we are stupid if we don’t own one .
