>it can run on a typical GPU that gamers likely already

So a GTX 1060[1] or GTX 1650[1]?

someone who only has a 1060 is what you'd call a casual gamer.

A proper gamer would have a 4080, or at least a 3070, with the requisite 8gig of video ram.

A casual gamer would be running with Intel or AMD integrated graphics on whatever laptop they can get for a reasonable sum. They might have a mobile RTX 3060 if they splurged a bit. More likely they'll just have a console to game on.

Gamers with RTX 3070 or above are a small count, at least according to Steam. RTX 4080 gamers are a staggering 0.20% of those surveyed.
