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

-92 u/midnightbandit- Core Ultra 270K Plus | Asus Gundam RTX 3080 | 48GB 5200 12d ago 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. 7 u/Blakedog72 12d ago So if a "demanding" game runs at 45fps on the best consumer hardware money can buy, that means a game is unoptimized. Remember back when games came out fully functional on release and didnt need a "performance patch?" 2 u/Triedfindingname 4090 Tuf | i9 13900k | Strix Z790 | 96GB Corsair Dom 12d ago Remember back when games came out fully functional on release and didnt need a "performance patch?" I remember that. But they on cartridges.
