I don't understand AAA game dev studios. If it's become that expensive to develop graphically complex games, then how about they just don't do that?

Look at how much the indie scene is exploding in popularity and how consistently Nintendo hits it out of the park with their games that never have realistic graphics. AAA games are just not worth the money whatsoever.

Most AAA studios outside of maybe CDPR (who works with nvidia for every game) and a small amount of others hard focuses on the powerhouse consoles first. PC Gamers need to realize this. And a majority of console players are looking to be wowed with graphics when looking for a single player game to spend $70 on. 

Management isn't gonna ignore the wishes largest gaming demographic, most of these kids just wanna see flashy graphics and shoot people all day on the TV. And if it sells, it sells. These devs are borderline not caring about PC gamers because they assume we're all wealthy enthusiasts who can afford to upgrade to a new GPU every 2 years, so why bother optimizing the port especially when you've already made a profit off the console sales alone? RDR2 made BILLIONS in like a week of release on console already, the 500 million they spent on development was worth it off that alone even if the PC port a year later ran like dog shit on even the best PCs.
