    Steam data is hardly skewed towards a data center with a lot of RAM, and supports the idea of 16 GB being the default for most users, with a newly increased trend towards 32 GB (that is very likely going to be shattered and revert to 16 GB in 2026 given the current scenario).

      I heard some people are starting to go for older CPU and older gen RAM out of desperation.

      So the amount of RAM is half of the story. Many will not be able to build setups with the current gen of RAM.

      I know I will be stuck to DDR4 for a while…

    Windows doesn’t even work anymore in 8GB computers. So I’ll be really surprised if 12GB wasn’t the mode, in a strongly high-skewed distribution.

    Maybe they’ll be forced to spend their time making good games instead of flashier more hyper realistic ones
