I keep thinking maybe things will good by 2030 and remember that’s 4 years away. Game devs please target the Steam Deck and Switch 2 as the baseline. Mid range and high end is just too premium for most people. Even entry level enthusiast gaming hardware is too expensive because of memory and storage. Steam Deck and Switch 2 are good low power draw integrated graphics level. That’s not terrible for pricing
Even having high-end enthusiast hardware, I want those devices as the baseline too. Whatever optimizations they do still apply over the whole hardware spectrum.
Also, you can technically say 2030 is less than 4 years away if you want to traumatize old people. Lol.
According to valves hardware survey over half of all gamers have hardware less powerful than the Steam Machine so provided valve don’t go mad with the pricing that may actually end up happening.
I think the steam deck and the switch 2 are probably too low power to be reasonable targets.

I like watching sci-fi made in the 80s and 90s where they thought that 2015 was a really advanced distant prospect.
Back to the Future 2 promised us flying cars, (actual) hoverboards, and Jaws 19… 11 years ago.
No, that can’t be ri……… Fuck.
the first time I heard “1997”, in a movie, in the 90s, I freaked out, like no way that’s a real year.
2031 still sounds like a year out of a sci-fi story to me, but it’s only five years away
I agree with you both. And you also both suck for saying mean things.
