Adjusted for inflation in the US, the 1080 ti cost only $876 in today's money when it came out. The 4080 launched at $1231 in today's money. You are simply incorrect

Some people just really love a company and will do anything to excuse their shortcomings
Starfield is poorly optimized and that's really all there is to it. I'm sure in a few weeks modders will (once again) fix some obvious issues. Bethesda has no incentive to do the work themselves when the community will do it for free
Okay I'll admit I didn't know that's how much the 4080 was, last time I checked was the 3000 series and yeah, that's a lot. (I thought it started around 8-900) I stick to my points though, if you want ultra gaming, it's going to cost an arm and a leg. My main point is still shouldn't expect older hardware to get ultra settings, and that's okay. You can play a game on medium settings and still have a blast.
