Piracy is also used to test if a game will even run on your system.

These days optimization is either great or something the devs never even tried to do.

And you simply cannot tell from game specs.

that was important back in the day when you did have so many different system configurations it was silly

It's still important now.

But less so.

Important more for the mid-range and especially low-end systems.

Ubisoft optimization , throw more cpu and gpu power at it

@meratrix still playing an Pontus?

yep

We live in a strange ersatz fucking world, and I am so confused by it sometimes.

*ass

Yes. I agree. It sounds like complete ass.

Just, when the fuck did Apple care about videogames?

They still only support OpenGL 4.5 on MacOS.

they want that juicy china money as everyone else

The Chinese are ruining everything.

@galesteppes i am often triggered, that's true. so are you as you've kicked me and deleted my messages just because you can but that's not how you get respect. try acting like a man, take notice of your own faults and try and begin to fix yourself instead of putting out those bitchy comments.

take your advice and apply it to yourself first

The Chinese are absolutely ruining everything.

And it started decades ago.

AND WE ALL BOUGHT INTO IT!

We thought we wanted it.

Or at least that's what the "elites" insisted.

I don't want fucking shitty disposable appliances. I want my appliances to be high quality and last years and be repairable.

I don't want shitty ANYTHING.

I want good products.

@Grodd have you seen games made by chinese studios?

We've been pushed to accept this disposable culture.

Oh I've seen so much.

i am, you'll notice that i'm not calling you names or slandering your personality. regardless of who's talking, basic psychology teaches us that more often than not, people talk about themselves. when you talk shit about other people, you are generally just explaining your deepest fears. i've done a personal index of my faults, seriously you do it too. it's not a put down, everyone has faults and it's a good thing when you're self aware.

they're basically ripping off the koreans, who inturn are also ripping off the japs
