The 3000 generation already had absurd prices though.
If you go back to the 1000 or 2000, you could find 80s gpu for around 500-600€.
For the rest of what you're saying, again I'm not sure what to say, GPUs were a business before too, and they weren't like this. The "only have yourself to blame" part is extremely weird to me. Even if you have enough money to buy it, it doesn't mean that you should be okay with an absurd price, because then where does it stop?
I don't know, you have a very elitist view on the whole subject that I just don't align with, and I think PC gaming will start to be less and less popular if it keep going like the way you see it.
Also I'd like to add that I didn't even complain myself about Dragon's Dogma 2 requirements, I was just explaining why people might complain since you asked. A game like RDR2 can run at 60 fps on a 1080 gpu, so of course people can find it weird to see dragon's dogma 2 having higher requirements, there's nothing surprising about that.
