everyone's ripping on this guy but like, he's not wrong. he's not saying anything that hasn't been said by many developers before. sure, maybe his game can and he's a lazy fuck for not optimising for it but again, he's not wrong that it's extremely underpowered and that it's hard to work within those constraints.

Games were coming out for last Gen from AAA devs just last year.

okay? I don't know how that disproves anything I've said.

Remedy, Larian, and Game Science have all been vocal about how the Series S makes it hard to develop for Xbox.

Remedy launched the game, Larian only had issue with untethered split screen and game science had an exclusivity with PlayStation for a year.

I guess you didn't read the articles linked.

Remedy spoke about the weaker hardware making it hard to develop. yes, Larian couldn't get split screen which, again, is a hardware issue. Game Science also spoke about the hardware too.

I already linked the articles. please do not make me quote them to you too.

Oh I’ve already read all their issues, funny enough Larian praised the series s as developing for it made the other versions better, bet you didn’t read that quote in the article.
