Devs *should* continue to account for 8GB cards when releasing AAA console ports.
Should 8GB VRAM gamers expect lower texture quality vs a comparable card with more VRAM? yes, absolutely.
Should they expect the game to be a buggy flawed mess that is unplayable because of it? no, of course not.
When all of the actual game content already exists, and much of the budget for the PC release is spent getting it to run on that platform, I would absolutely expect 8GB VRAM gamers to be able to play those games without serious, game and immersion breaking playability issues when paying circa $70 USD, provided of course their system meets or exceeds the minimum spec, and the expectation around performance/quality is forthcoming. Game *needs* more? 8GB holding your game back? that's ok, publish it in the required specs, that's what they're for.
None of this is equal to, or any justification for this overpriced under-specced garbage to be released today for $400 USD, it's an actual insult and the message should be loud and clear to Nvidia when people vote with their wallets.
