Reply to comment by Spanks79 in Ultra-enthusiast hardware is strangling PC gaming by redhatGizmo

the developers that can actually write performant code probably aren't working for gaming companies. Games have to sell for a certain amount and companies aren't willing to bite into their margin even further hiring very skilled developers.

Running at 120fps means that every single thing you do has to fit with the rest of the game and run in less than 5 milliseconds. Everything is performant by necessity… but only up to a point. You can spend years optimizing every single bit of waste to squeeze as much as you can out of the hardware, but at the end of the day, you have to cut your losses. Does another year of optimizing justify supporting older hardware, that won’t even support the full experience?
