> At some point this unchecked desire will suck all of the fun out of a hobby

You’re projecting. I think I’ve got what I enjoy from my hobby figured out after 35+ years, but thanks anyway.

> The game story, gameplay elements, and such have become secondary to the real hobby of consumerism.

You’re projecting.

> If people could have fun gaming 20 years ago

I didn’t have to endure sample and hold slop 20 years ago, now I do. You may accept or tolerate it, I am under no requirement to do so, nor live in a world where I must accept a significant performance loss is “ok” in any circumstance.

If I wanted less performance, I’d buy something with less performance to begin with.
