You just should play different games.

For example ping pong runs on integrated gpus.

Bought a 4070 super for 600. They have come down a lot

The Main Reason I became an Indie Gamer.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it isn’t worth it for me.

My 15 years old i5 750 upgraded with a 1060 can play almost anything. You could literally play great free games for the next 10 years on it without spending a dime. Maybe some gamers are doing too much? There’s no need to upgrade your pc every years to get 2 more fps…

my gpu is 8 years old, and it runs everything perfectly. I’ve never had any issues with high quality shaders in Minecraft, and i have a million mods in Teardown and i don’t really see it lag unless im testing my PCs limits lol

i really really don’t think you need to spend nearly that much money to enjoy video games
