And people cry when games like Elite Dangerous drop console support.

Microsoft and Sony force them to develop for the lowest spec gen, so no you cannot play on your PS5/X whatever because PS4 and One X cannot run new game engine.

They were never more than 20% of the player base.

I somewhat understand what you are talking about but the buggy and poorly maintained Elite Dangerous isn't the best example to support your argument. BG3 getting a pass on some features for the series S is exactly what other games should be able to do if it makes sense for them.

No they don’t. If the developers wanted they could have dropped support for the last gen versions for newer updates (like what cyberpunk did).

Also for what it’s worth they even had a ps4 trailer for the Odyssey dlc.
