@pilias_simber, yes, but i believe way too often pc devepers think that way resulting in games that have higher requiremetns in the expectations of technology changing, but that results in less people playing their games at max settings/looking best on launch. I think i was reading recently about this developer conference where they were asked how often they upgrade their hardware. Most of them did it yearly, but it was underlined that while they, and hardcore gamers do others do so maybe only in 3-4 years. it seems to me there's been a slowdown in the hardware evolution because less people see the reason to trade in their perfectly good laptop for another for which they don't really see the boost most of the time (more cpus less used, ram which most of the time they dont need...)
