I think it's more that users can't afford new hardware, even though win11 seems like a step backwards.

There's also the point that game quality has gone down significantly. If I were to build a new rig which would cost me an arm and a leg, I would still just play games that my current PC can already run anyway. I don't wanna play the newest CoD-slop or some tech-demo with MTX-shop disguised as a game. The newest games I really enjoyed were Monster Sanctuary (Unity-based monster collector metroidvania-like) and Balatro (no introduction necessary). A toaster can run these.

Don't forget that not everyone uses their Pc for gaming. Most programs really don't need Windows and since all of the office package can be used through the browser with no real difference in user xp there is no need to upgrade older hardeware that can just stay on Windows 10 or become a Linux system easily.

DMZ 2 is coming though... I haven't had fun like back when DMZ was playable. Not defending cod in any way other than DMZ is life

What's Balatro?

Slay the Spire but with poker hands instead of medieval-fantasy-combat
