So now we're being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I'll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn't there for the majority of pc gamers.

Doom 2016 needed half of that for every single metric!

On the other hand that was almost a decade ago.

Yes, but the tech has not advanced that much since then. Also the game probably doesn't look twice as good.

Tbh. the game needing 8 cores is the most outrageous of the list, but the ray tracing is a close second, since that could easily be toggleable.

It's not toggleable if they use it for registering hits.

In a doom game ray tracing should not be used for registering hits, since most if not all of the projectiles are visible and fly slower than light.
