> The CPU is rarely a bottleneck for AAA games

I mean… No?

CPU bottleneck is super common, especially on slightly older engine bases like source or unreal.

I think you are assuming big AAA games at 4k, which puts an especially big strain on the GPU.

Maybe I’ve been developing games too long, but we are constantly fighting CPU bottlenecks.

PC game players tend to believe you can't play a game unless you bought the latest custom hardware for all of it and put all the settings on maximum.

Game developers are much more willing to run their work on lower end machines if they'll get paid for it, or at least they're more capable of tuning for it.
