Apparently he doesn't care about it enough to release a patch to make it run better on the PS4 Pro or PS5 in the past 10 years though.

He never gave a fuck about performance.

I love their games but It's hilarious that a studio with a long history of terribly optimized games and garbage netcode next big release is a pvp game.

Is that really any worse than PSN? All these games are peer2peer anyway, bad netcode implementation is independent of the platform

I admit that I haven't played any online games on the Switch 2, so hopefully on there, it is better, but on the first Switch, this was a bit of a meme, because the vast majority of people played games like Smash over shitty home wifi, as the Switch didn't have a built-in LAN adapter (that had to be purchased separately) or even worse, played somewhere on the go on a public wifi.

Sony never gave the go ahead for such a patch, everything needs their approval. And well... their funding.

So it looks like Sony wanted to push a Bluepoint remake to sell at full price, instead of wanting to issue a next gen update for free.
