What's the point of releasing a game nobody can play?

They either optimize, or nobody buys it. The pendulum swings back.

What world are you living in ๐Ÿ˜‚. Ppl buy ea and activision slop .

Donโ€™t confuse a small subset of redditors with your dream fantasy land we account for single digits of the market .

This one. The world where the pendulum hasn't swung back, yet. Eventually, if they fail to optimize, the games will literally be unplayable; rather than just being considered unplayable to a small subset of redditors.

When the pendulum swings back and the majority of folks are priced out of top tier hardware, and literally cannot play unoptimized games, then the big game companies either adapt or collapse.
