    $5m to develop + $13.2m to market

    Equivalent to about $32m in 2024. Not disagreeing, putting the value into perspective. Also consider the scale of vice city compared to your average AAA, even AA game. Games have significantly higher expectations nowadays.

    Game studios aren’t individual people it’s hundreds of individuals working together to make a game. There’s no excuse for elden ring to be so laggy, there is most definitely some management decisions pushing back performance upgrades to the engine.



  • Outer wilds if you enjoyed subnautica’s sense of wonder and exploration. Not replayable but a unique once in a lifetime experience.

    Helldivers 2 if you enjoy halo firefight and it’s expansive sandbox. Very replayable.

    Teardown is very replayable and will run great on your rig.

    Curious why you went for 64gb of ram instead of 32, because the extra dosh could have gone to a better gpu. Always use the extra on the gpu or monitor.

    I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

    I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.
