For those like me, who have been using a computer for 25-30 years, we have witnessed most things, like document editing, viewing, spreadsheets, file management etc. going from unbearably slow (although even in the mid 1990s that was debatable), to basically so fast that performance does not matter any more, which has been reached at some point in the past 15 years and all extra resources go towards inefficiency or pointless features. At this point, I'd argue games have also reached this threshold. Often I look at modern games, and feel like I'd happily trade marginally worse graphics for a game that runs well on my mid-range PC. I tried the Dead Space remake, for example, and it ran so bad on my PC that I immediately uninstalled it and replayed the original, and the difference in quality wasn't huge, despite the fact the original ran better on a PC that has about 1/20th the computing resources.
