Hard to blame them. Why waste silicon and RAM and production capacity of valuable nodes on gaming GPUs when you can make more money off AI spend.
Sucks maybe for enthusiast gamers, but they don't really matter in the scope of the global economy, which right now is being propped up by all of this massive AI spending. Just going to be a new reality people have to get used to, that said, I mean complaining that the graphics tech available today isn't good enough as is is pretty much the epitome of first world problems.
The games of today look more than fine, even if they stay frozen at this level for the next 10 years, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
If you can't express a game idea or make something look eye-pleasing for virtually any kind of game scenario given the tech we have now, as a developer you're probably a lost cause anyway. It can take hundreds of millions of dollars of budget and 7+ years of development in many cases to really push the technology we have now, I don't think any developer is dying to double or triple those figures any time soon.
