All games ended up needing a GPU and a soundcard - in fact they became so necessary that all CPUs and motherboards today come with a GPU and a soundcard respectively. While VR headsets were a gimmick of the moment.

(Yes I know some CPUs come with no GPU but that's because you will buy a discrete GPU which only furthers my point)

If I released a game on PC that required a peripheral, like a racing wheel, does that make it not a PC game?

> all CPUs [...] today come with a GPU

This is not even remotely true.
