@deprecated_ii People will play retro games and games with lower capabiilities for graphics because when it comes down to what makes a game fun, it is the gameplay that stands out. Visual splendor is secondary at best, and is often at odds with the gameplay due to the graphical demands of the game negatively affecting the gameplay.
Visual part peaked at Ori and the Blind Forest that can run ok on fucking Intel Pentium laptop with no dGPU. Now they push stuff that is slightly better than Witcher 3 that is almost 10 years old game at this point, but requires high-end dGPU and 64 GB of RAM to run on medium and is riddled with glitches.
