Imagine the people who paid $5000 for a new PC to play this

[Wade]

My God. But hey, at least they have a new PC. Right?

[blairweescot]

WTF are you on about 5 grand. Gamers, man. Gamers.

[potato]

where you getting that people bought a $5000 pc just for one game?

[Tijger]

I spent 2 grand and I am very happy with my Starfield performance. And my BG 3 performance, And my CP 2077 performance. And....and...ah, well, you get the idea, I hope.

Next-gen game like Starfield can only be played on the next-gen PC. Todd said it. And many people bought very expensive PCs in order to play Starfield.

My computer is 10,000 USD in parts, that I made myself. As a gamer, I did not do this for one single game. I am not sure why you think someone would invest in a gaming computer for only one game.

People who paid $5000 got scammed.

My $1600 PC runs this Game (and every other) just fine.

People don't spend 5000$ to play one game.

They do it to take advantage of bleeding edge tech like Path Tracing and be set for the next 5-7 years, and because they can.

No gamer should ever pay $5K for a computer.

You know, if you add that my PC is also my HTPC and is hooked up to my home theatre, I'm probably getting close to that, too.

Indeed. some games that I play will take over 60GB RAM, like Oxygen Not Included, while having no impact on the GPU, while others are intense on the GPU, while taking little RAM like Cyberpunk. There are a variety of games and I want to enjoy them with as little issues as possible, and to be ready for what may come out in the next several years.

There are many very hyped Bethesda fans who waited for this game very, very long. time They were so much excited and when they heard they will not be able to play Starfield properly on their existing PCs, they bought a new, very expensive PC. Just like Todd said. "You need to upgrade your PC." And now what?

Having a great sound system is important. Playing 'scary' games with a good surround sound brings it to the next level.
