Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026

I really would like to know if AAA games are bombing because they are overpriced microtransaction hell or if they are bombing because many people haven’t been able to buy their new gaming PC because of those GPU prices in the last 5 years and now we do not have the install base to run them

The micro transactions and shittiness mainly.

  This! My steam deck with an igpu has been running all the new games fine. Granted not like 120+fps fine, but my desktop has a two generation old card and god only knows about the CPU and it’s hitting 120 easy on the games I play. Which of the games I play, cyberpunk is the most resource intensive.

    More’s the shame. Our last console was a PS3, it was such a non-fun waste of time that we never bought into the 4 or 5. I used to buy a new PC title a year or so before than, really none new since StarCraft II.

    There's some great games out there, they are just not the big ones.

For a while now games are sold without a lot of optimization, expecting the customers to just buy more powerful hardware.

My bet is microtransactions and a lot of them not being great lol games. You don’t need a 5090 to play a AAA game unless you’re maxing out the visuals.

Any GPU from the last few generations should be able to run any game without any problems. A lot of games are just made like complete ass unfortunately, you know because of profits ultimately.
