vaartis in A FUNNY LITTLE CYCLE (nprofile…plxw) While I dislike the clickbait around that topic too, I do think there are big issues with optimization.
When games run awful despite being on a "high end gaming machine" because many gamedevs think "Optimization? Don't need that! Upscaling will fix all the issues for us!" there will be many people inevitably complaining.
Of course not every gamedev will go down that route. But more gamedevs tend to think less and less about optimization. And I think it's sad to limit your game this way when a couple of optimizations could easily improve performance that even low-end devices could run the game.
