Yes, I upgraded my GPU for Diablo 3. But there needs to be other games than just MWO for me to even start justifying buying a new CPU (which necessitates new mobo and memory). There's nothing in the horizon on PC that I feel the urge to play that's not also available on PS3, with the exception of Mechwarrior Tactics, which I'm sure has more reasonable specs. And I'm sure I'm not the only one: anyone who has read the news lately knows that most people have more pressing destinations for their money than luxury goods such as MWO.
The points remain: F2P games require a vast playerbase from which to draw revenue from, and that requires reaching those with modest systems. And there's something fundamentally wrong with the engine or its implementation if people who can max out BF3 can't play MWO.
edit: I run all games at my monitor's native resolution 1680x1050. I tried MWO with 1280x[whatever it is] a couple of patches ago, didn't help much.
