Gaming Questions #1: Should There Be Minimum Specs on Games?

Hi guys!

Mario here with a start to a new series, Gaming Questions.

My question for you guys is: do you believe in there being minimum computer specs for certain games?

On one hand, there should be. Minimum specs are there so that people who do not meet those standards will not get their computers blown up. This also helps for other players, especially in Multiplayer games, as having a laggy player on your team (for example) would take away a slot that someone with 1000000 FPS could've gotten. They're there so that things that shouldn't happen shouldn't happen.

On the other hand, it's annoying for those people who ALMOST meet the requirements, and have, let's say, 1 spec just below the minimum. Because of this, the player cannot play because he had the tiniest thing wrong with his/her computer. I am currently downloading a game which does have specs, and I am in a situation where, after looking at the minimum specs, I should meet every standard except one.

So, I present to you this question! If you would like to share your answer, leave a comment down below! You can remain anonymous, so don't worry about that!
