Nowadays publisher just say "buy a new PC" when being asked about specs.

Fuck them.

You could attribute it to Crisis being so popular for not running on typical hardware

But optimizing a game is a waste of money when the majority of sales occur before release

That's not really true. A good high end PC can still last a solid 5+ years of the latest releases if you're willing to stop running everything at max settings.

That's pretty much exactly how it was back then too...
