because having a stable, unchanging platform is a lot easier to code on and extract performance from than the 100,000,000,000 billion possible combinations of PC hardware.

You can get angry over it all you want, it doesnt change the fact that its the truth.

In fact, the state of games in general is shit because a lot of you fucking goblins with more money than sense keep running out and pre-ordering/day1ing games and fawning over them no matter how much of a broken piece of shit they are, and white knight against any and all criticism. Maybe if YOU stopped creating a market for shitty, broken, badly performing games, They'd stop fucking releasing shitty, broken, badly performing games.

But no, you don't want to be responsible for your actions, So you want to take it out on everyone else.. because god forbid it ever be mommies special little angel thats at fault.

So remember that next time you want to scree about consoles or whatever else. Cause they are not the problem. People like you are.
