Should we remove hardware requirements or reviews, because then you could argue you weren't informed about the game not being your type? Are game demos bad?

Informing the customer being bad sounds backwards. This could only backfire if the fps prediction is wrong, and I still think for most people this would a positive, I wanted a feature like this.

i'm saying they could easily use it as an excuse to eliminate customer service and refunds because game stores and game companies are generally shitty and anti consumer.

Again, reviews? Game demos? Those are already excuses if they wanted to (and could in the first place, since refunds are probably required by law, as the other reply). This fps prediction IS customer service.
