More like managers
True, though it's a mix of culpability. We wouldn't be in this situation if devs quit over poor managerial decisions. Devs keep their heads down and do the dirty work, so they're also culpable in these trends. They don't deserve defending, they deserve a wakeup call.
EDIT: face it folks, if you do a shitty thing as your job for someone else, it doesn't absolve you of guilt that it was some else's idea. You're still doing the shitty thing. No one gets off Scott free because they're 'following orders'.
You got it.
Its time to stop acting like all game devs are somehow totally free of responsibility from all this.
I say this as a person who at least used to personally know game devs, mod devs, and I have been modding (as in making the mods) games since the mid 00's.
Yes, of course management is shitheads.
But there are many game devs who don't whore themselves out to corpos they know will do this dumb shit.
There are many indie or AA or other devs who build games that are a little bit less graphically fancy, but run 3x as fast.
Go right now and play Titanfall 2, built on a fork of the Portal 2 Source Engine variant, and tell me that any modern, comparable game really looks like it is so much more impressive it needs all the horsepower and cost that goes into getting it to run at the same resolution and framerate.
If people wanna know more about the technicals of how optimization in games is largely a lost art now, go check Threat Interactive on youtube, that guy does an amazing job breaking this stuff down.
