PC gaming requires significant financial investment, with high-end components like the Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU costing nearly three times that of a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. Many PC games suffer from bugs and performance issues, as developers often neglect optimization for the platform. Hideo Kojima is noted for producing well-optimized PC ports, exemplified by Metal Gear Solid V, which runs smoothly on modest hardware despite being nearly a decade old. In contrast, newer titles like Monster Hunter Wilds have struggled with performance. The reliance on AI upscaling technologies, such as Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, has not compensated for poor game design, leading to player frustration. Developers often rush game releases to meet profit targets, prioritizing financial gain over quality, which has resulted in a demand for better standards in game development. Gamers expect high-quality experiences that justify their investment, and there is a call for patience in the release of polished titles.
