Many games released or upcoming using Unreal Engine 5 have no performance issues (e.g., The Finals, Marvel Rivals, Clair Obscur, Fortnite, Arc Raider..).
All controversial feature on UE5 are optionals.
Bad performances is mostly the result of bad developpement practice rather than engine flaw (and epic is doing a ton of shit work to provide excellent optimisation/Documentation on many side).
I'm personally so sick and tired from game influencer cringe who share misinformed (or ragebait ?) trought for click on twitter.
If you really love video game, share fact about it.
Govt is getting too arrogant on the E20 petrol issue. They only listen to street protests or the court, and the middle class is weak in both.
So here’s a third option: #NoCarSeptember. Come what may, don’t buy a car in September. Postpone plans as late as possible. If cancelling a booking, tell the dealer why. Travel only when necessary so fuel use also drops. Make it a movement, share in WhatsApp groups, urge people, build consensus.
It can work because it hits the govt where it hurts, revenue. A united buying pause can push the auto and fuel industry to pressure policymakers faster than any protest or petition. Don’t go down without a fight.
Its all of it.
At the individual level, there is racism. At the institutional level, its keeping India in check and in line.
Its not one or the other. Its both. And its happening as we speak.
The only solution is: build manufacturing edge. Build software edge. Build deftech edge.
BUILD. It should be India’s single point agenda.
I’ve always said the gaming industry needs less gamers working in it; at least on the art/preproduction side.
So much of AAA gaming is so boring and samey these days cus the people making videogames use videogames as their primary inspiration, unlike in the 70s-2000s
