The games you mention have never been big to begin with  lol just cherry picked to push your agenda. Final was the only worth mentioning the series is being released way too often and On a decline it happens.

I can't think of many reasons to buy a pc with a gpu better then ps5 and also have steam account  if not for gaming, but keep pushing your anecdotal evidence as strong data points. 

Who the hell said you have to be a enthusiast to want better perfomace and graphics lol that's something gamers have come to expect with every gen. The funniest part about all this for months now you been  pushing false data saying most pc users are using something close to a 2050 lol as your main reason gamers don't care about graphics anymore except old farts.

So all/many of these people have high end rigs and are graphics enthusiasts ... they just choose to pass on games even one's that have won GOTY trophies (Alan Wake 2) and have one of the biggest IP in the planet attached to it (Avatar) and then you have Starfield which did not light sales on fire despite a massive budget too and being splattered over every Doritos bag and Mountain Dew bottle in North America (a marketing push that very, very few games ever get). 

Again my preference =/= market reality here. 

Something is clearly happening in the market which is different from previous generations. Now I find that interesting and would figure that would be discussed on a sales forum, not "XYZ is my personal gaming preference so that's all that matters". 

It's not easy to buy old cards anyway, most retail stores aren't stocking like cards from 5 years ago, lots of people just buy the cheapest or second cheapest thing off the shelf, at this point that happens to be 3050/3060 cards in a lot of cases. Graphics cards makers aren't willing to keep the older cards on the shelf and drop the price on those, they rather just phase those older cards out and move the same price point to newer cards. 

If you wanted a pc and didn't care about gaming on it, there a million choices that would save a ton of money anyone buying a pc for gaming it's very expensive my nephew just bought one a 8 months ago for 1200$ after tax with a 3050 on sale and a 1080p display.

Now your evidence is for why something is changing is ridiculou. Starfield is has normal good graphics. Alan Wake is small game that didn't even get a physical release and released at the worst timing. Avatar has never been big when it comes to gaming. Maybe do some research and see how many games bombed with amazing graphics in the ps2 and ps3 era there are plenty of them.
