Although early computer games were not that hard on a person's computer, today's games are often especially graphics intensive and have some rather steep requirements as far as being able to play a game on settings that make for a nice gaming experience. Sometimes a gamer will actually sell World of Warcraft account when their computer can no longer handle the graphics required of the game but will be surprised that any other game they decide to play will have even steeper graphics and processor requirements. Although games can be played on minimum settings, it's not recommended.
