I agree.
I consider myself a part of the "PCMR". Yet rarely ever have I been able to afford a system that could ran everything at the highest settings. I never really cared to. It's satisfying playing older games because you can do that but still hit 100 FPS. But even older games with its one superfluous and unoptimised setting crippled certain systems. I can think of a number of titles where the absolute highest settings was 40-60 FPS, and one setting turned down one notch (with no discernible visual compromise) was 90-100 FPS. GTA V, Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed are some examples. I didn't sit there in anger because I got shafted by 'Ngreedia' or 'RTG-durrrp'. I just turned the setting down and played the bloody game and stopped taking myself so seriously.
The PCMR encompasses multiple different people. Modders, high refresh rate competitive gamers, streamers, hardware enthusiasts, AAA, they're all part of the PCMR. I've played games at the lowest settings and loved every minute of it, even when I hated it. And I've played games at 20 FPS and loved every minute of it, even when I hated it. But nowadays if I had to pick between 90 FPS with two settings turned down at a price of €500, 90 FPS with all settings turned up to the max for €800, or 60 FPS and settings cranked for €500, I'd choose the first of the three. All three are "PCMR". The reason the PC is the "Master Race" is because you can choose, not because you have a zero compromise system. It isn't just that one thing.
