Hello I made a mistake and let my mind wander a bit, so I was thinking gee it's so convenient that some dev's these days have a shit code problem that's so bad it makes you need to buy better hardware. Then my next thought was what if thats the point? We've seen sites like pc gamer recommend parts. What if some studio's are getting kickbacks somehow. my thought process was that incompetence can't be the only reason for games running like they have 5 different copy's of denuvo sucking on them at some point things start looking deliberate like the pokemon company's latest fuck up.

I think there is just less of a drive to optimize and trying to build the item around the hardware.
For example, cartridges and CDs used to have very limited space, so they had to be very smart about their coding to make things fit. Such as Super Mario Bros the entire game being smaller than a picture of the game. Same with graphical prowess being so unfettered they don't need to have concerns about their own limits. Our limits mean nothing to them because they simply assume we will upgrade.
Simply, the crunch made it so only the great could succeed in spite of their limits. Now without those limits the market is filled with basic bitches doing basic bitch level work.
