I agree that the top end gpus are shit at efficiency and we should could cut back.
According to Steam survey, 4090, 3090, 6900XT, and 7900 XTX combined are being used by about 1.7% of gamers.
This number is, of course, inflated (at least slightly) because people who have money to buy these cards are also more likely to buy games and people owning older/cheaper cards are more likely to be playing pirated copies.
The top tier cards are showcase of technological advancement. They are not really used by a large number of people. So there’s not much point. It will only reduce the baseline for next generation, leading to less advancement.
Origins was first AC game I played. 3 months after completing origins, which had bored me to death, I tried my hand at Odessey. The gameplay was exactly same. It felt like I was playing the same game again. Exact same mechanics and combat style. Uninstalled within half an hour.
Then I tried Unity and Syndicate, because people praise them so much. And I realised that Ubisoft has been remaking the same game over and over for more than a decade now. They just change the setting and rehash everything. The animations in Unity look exactly same as Odessey.
I had the same fear when I picked up Miles Morales, that it would feel the same as previous Spidey game. But they quickly introduced a few new mechanics which made the game feel ever so slightly different.
