    Eh thats not “really” true. I “think” most pc games these days are indie games or small scale productions and most of the time they have rather low requirements. Now if you move into the AAA space or even just AA games your statement is closer to truth.

      Quite a few indies go through some kind of early access period, which also puts them into the “runs poorly, wait 6-18+ months to buy” space TBH

        Well with early access you are at least not buying a product that is supposedly finished. Even then I would assume there is a a lot of early access indie games that run just fine (I play many of them) they are just lacking in content and scope which gets added over the months till release.

        Also to be fair if the game really runs poorly it will reflect in the user reviews. There are loads of early access games with glowing reviews.
