The good games don't need a high end GPU.

Absolutely. True creative games are made by smaller dev teams that aren't forcing ray tracing and lifelike graphics. The new Indianna Jones game isn't a GPU-selling card, and is the only game that I've personally had poor performance on with my 3070ti at 1440p.

Problem is preordering has been normalized, as has releasing games in pre-alpha state.

Anyone that preorders a digital game is a dummy. Preorders were created to assure you got some of the limited physical stock.
