> Me neither but recommended requirements on Steam are like.. RTX 2060, so 6 years old mid grade video card. We really don't need more power than we already have to make beautiful games.

Steam's recommended specs are on the conservative side, usually adapted to play with the average settings.

Pushing the game setting to ultra at 4K gives it a mere 100fps on a RTX 4090 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rju22K1lfQY

That's a lot of dedication, but yes, some people will really enjoy the game in its full splendor. Telling them what they need or don't need, or what they should enjoy misses the point of games IMHO (avid players have probably already spent more than a top end gaming PC on the dresses)

> Does it really make art that much better ?

Putting a technical limit on what makes or doesn't make art better sounds fundamentally off to me.

I kinda understand your point on diminishing returns, except we haven't even reached a good frame rate at HDPI for 24~32"ish screens. And we'll always move to the next level.

"XXX should be enough for everyone" kind of assertions have never panned out well IMHO.
