If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.

Yes, because
- developers can't be bothered to optimize the game if management breathes into their necks
- DRM like Denuvo tanks performance, ironically only for the people not pirating and thus paying for the game
No kidding, denuvo made me stop buying games every time because I just detest it and what it stands for. Also, boggles resources way too much (and no, having a root kit is a no no for me). But more importantly, single player games with denuvo is the ultimate low.
The fact denuvo can make a 20+ year old port run like garbage is especially impressivly bad. It's sometimes hard to avoid, but usually it gets dropped because it's a subscription a publisher has to pay. Patient gamers just have to be patient.
