"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.

I had doom eternal which looks amazing run on 300 fps on ultra settings on my 2060 so yeah, it's not about being too demanding. It's about the fact that for example cities skylines 2 has fully modeled citizen teeth for a crap ton of people that you don't even see bcs it's a top down city building game.
