PC gamers proudly flex their RTX 4090s and think they're ready to dominate any game, only to discover that modern AAA titles are optimized about as well as spaghetti code written during a hackathon. You've got a GPU that could render the entire observable universe, but the game still stutters because it demands 24GB of VRAM to load a single texture of a rock.
Game devs have basically decided that VRAM is infinite and optimization is a myth passed down by ancient programmers. Why compress textures when you can just ship 150GB of uncompressed 8K assets that nobody will notice anyway? The real kicker is watching your $2000 GPU get brought to its knees by a game that looks marginally better than something from 2015.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch is running entire open-world games on what's essentially a smartphone chip from 2015, proving that optimization is indeed possible when you actually care about it.
