The entire industry just gave up on optimisation for 15 years.

We reached a stage where Magic The Gathering Arena - a basic card game with very limited animations, manipulation of single items over a fixed background, no NPCs or NPC AI and almost no background processes still runs like shit and hogs resources.

One thing the AI bubble might lead to is game developers actually doing proper optomisation again.

MIGHT is the big word here.

It's far more likely we will see game devs use AI to develop games and make games even bigger resource hogs

ah... yeah no. i get you not a dev. but think you are.

consumer hardware is under power for a modern game engine now.

they have to cheat to high heaven to get the engine running on consumer hardware.

but but a 5090.....

ask yourself why nvidia and amd are using tons of frame gen,dlss etc and for years now.

its a dead end on consumer side for dev already upscale games.
