I don’t mind them raising minimum requirements if they actually use features of newer hardware (cough unlike Windows 11 cough), but requiring upscaling is never a good sign. It’s just a cost-cutting strategy that allows them to spend even less money on optimization work while reallocating that money to marketing budget or exec bonuses or whatever, at the cost of visual fidelity. It doesn’t benefit customers in any way, quite the opposite.
