I think AAA studios are the main culprits here, I haven't been playing more than one game a year that requires a recent setup for many years now, and most of my friends are in the same boat. Most people in that situation aren't gonna buy a new GPU even if a mid range card was ~$400. Graphics haven't been improving much even in AAA titles either since the MO of live service titles is to get as many people playing as possible.
