Have you ever worked on a game before? I'm curious how you think laziness plays into this when the entire industry is collapsing and everyone would love to hold on to their jobs.

[–] yamper 5 points 1 day ago

agreed, making video games has gotta be the worst ROI software job in the world. bad hours, bad pay, bad management. anyone who wanted to be lazy could do so anywhere else but video games.

Indeed. This is 100% on management for not prioritizing PC and rushing the release dates. Cheaping out is right, lazy...not so much IMO.

Doesn't really matter though, it's NOT on the consumer. We don't have a responsibility to buy badly optimised garbage.

[–] ampersandrew 6 points 19 hours ago

You don't, but the "lazy devs" accusations are nonsense explanations for it being poorly optimized.

O...kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I'm really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.
