Games that force hardware upgrades

I hate games that require better hardware than games like them. There is no need for it if you have not done anything "great!!". So far I have never seen (or played) a single game that is worth buying a new computer for.

Here are a few games that should have been made better to either allow for setting to be turned off for it to play better on 'older' hardware, or just fix the code!
- Supreme Commander
- Guitar Hero 3 (for PC)
- Crysis
- NFS Pro Street

Fix your code!!!!!
You could all still fix the issues in a patch, but you're not going to :(


These areticles are very useful to tell what the average gamer has:

It links to this article:

Many users comment. One of the best is a like to Valve's hardware survey:

Anyone making a game NEEDS to make it work with the average machine. 'Work' means at least 30fps on average.

Do it!
