Geezus guys. Doesn't matter when he bought it, that irrelevant. And also terrible reasoning as it implies that only better cards should be able to run this game (which is wrong). And since the 2070 is not much better, the ones you're referring to would be either the 2080Ti (was always expensive) or the 3000 series that were sold at scalper prices from day 1 - your reasoning would mean that only those are playing who got scalped. Also a 2060 never cost 900$, even in the current dire conditions. 900$ could get you a 3060 Ti at least (still a bad deal).
Optimization should be key from the start, especially if they mark a 1060 as recommended. Far too many games made the mistake of not optimizing properly due to it being EA and only focusing on content, then they just called it 1.0 full release while still not optimized it (Subnautica for example). I'm thinking of getting this game as I happen to fricking LOVE these kind of graphics. Low poly, low rez textures but with awesome lighting and colors, but since I'm still rocking a 2060, this thread got me think a bit.

Well, I didn't say it cost $900, I said it cost $800 right now on Amazon. Which it does. My assumption comes from the arrogance associated with claiming the cheapest RTX card available should somehow be able to handle anything and everything, especially without even mentioning other specs. Clearly a lack of understanding there and it's not off-base to point it out. Has nothing to do with whether or not a 2060 can run the game -- it can, and this guy is one of the many who refuses to believe something else could be going on with his system. He expects it to be a console and just work without any thought or effort. There's asking questions and problem solving, and then there's a monkey throwing its turds at the wall seeing what sticks.

Dude could have an i3-2100 and 4GB RAM for all we know, since he refuses to give the relevant info because his only goal is to troll and be negative, not to fix anything or figure out why his game isn't running well. He's very attached to the idea that only his video card matters and if he can run other games he should be able to run this one (which is the same flawed logic on every single forum by ignorants, blaming the game for a compatibility issue or for a bottleneck). I actually have an even OLDER video card than OP, a 1080Ti which still kicks the crap out of a 2060, so I am certainly not suggesting you need a 20 or 30 series GPU to run the game well. You do need some ability to think critically and problem solve if things seem off though.
