thats the same logic behind the really high hardware requirements nowadays.
studios just wanting to save time and cut corners, and you offset that with really expensive cards.
Comment on Anon turns on raytracing

Gamers needs expensive hardware so designer has less work. Game still not cheaper.

I took pickes and tomatoes off my burger, where’s my $0.23 discount damn it?!
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Let’s assume cutting out tomatoes and pickles saved $0.23 per hamburger.
McDonald’s serves 6.5 million hamburgers a day.
That’s $500 million extra profit for their shareholders.

There’s actually a decent analogy there I think. The hamburger won’t cost less, because the service of customization it itself less efficient: serving customers with their preference of with/without is more expensive than just pickles for all. Likewise I imagine making a game that looks OK with/out RT is extra work than just with.
