There used to be a time when people would look at a really demanding game (hardware wise) as a challenge.

I remember when I first got IL2, my PC could barely run it at all, and I didn't even attempt to use "perfect" settings. Back then everyone was excited because they knew that if the game was causing their systems to strain back then, that it had major future potential.
