I'm kinda torn on this move myself. Sure UE does have a lot more tricks up its sleeve than CDPR's in house engine, although UE5 is a bear to run even on the highest end hardware & still a stutter fest in most games. Fingers crossed they got those issues cleaned up some by the time this game launches!

The hardware requirement is deliberately high as a Premium branding element. Instead of proper optimization and an egalitarian approach to design, they rely on pandering to the capitalist excesses which has only ever walked backwards toward reductionist game design, leaving the industry hollow and void of any true advances in the story arts.

100% agree with you here, that's why I've found myself buying & playing way more indie games than AAA/AA ones in the past few years. I hate to say it since I am a huge gamer, but the video game market is due for & honestly in need of a crash soon to bring things back to reality IMHO.

Social media has to be stopped. It's programing young people such that their only concept of progress is to BUY something. We've raised multiple generations of boorish idiots who have no world view. They mentality composes nothing more than capitalist imperialist indoctrination.
These people have no thoughts, they only internally mutter the words, like and subscribe.
