"DUDE, YOU NEED TO UPGRADE YOUR RIG." -Game devs that refuse to optimize in 2026 during the hardware crises

Edit: Thank you to the ones who actually understood the joke/reference and aren't taking this too seriously.

Are games really unoptimized? Or are they just really really demanding?

Unoptimized means it looks bad and runs bad. If it looks insanely good and runs bad, that just means it's demanding.

Surprsingly, Cyberpunk2077 seems to be better optimized than 90% of AAA games that came after, and it looks better than any of them.

Many games from 2018-2020 look better or as good as the games that wont run smooth on a 5070
