The era of custom/lightweight game engines is starting again either we like it or not. The average system spec will go down in the next few years. But 4GB VRAM is still plenty for most stuff, PS4 has a total of 8GB (main and video) for everything so this is not a doom scenario.

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place My 3050 laptop GPU only has 4GB and a shocking number of games (in this era of being told 8GB, not even 6GB, is a bare minimum) do not care at all. Really is games that released for PS5 and got ported to PC that seem to cause major issues (which also can have raw perf issues with a 35W smol 3050 anyway, masking slowdown from having to jump to system memory for reads).
