It's not fair comparison since the games are completely different beasts today - huge open worlds, detailed textures, complex AIs.
Game studios could design games which are super fast to load and play but some other aspect would suffer instead. It's a trade off and it looks like users are OK with waiting a little bit if it means better gameplay.
- pdimitar 6y agoOkay, but how did games enter this global thread's discussion? That's definitely way off-topic. My mom simply wanted instantly loading calendar and grocery list apps. I know that's achievable because I've done (parts of) such apps in the past and they were faster than others. It's not such a stretch to imagine people being frustrated with lags everywhere (and those lags do objectively exist). And I've met a good amount of people frustrated with the current breed of software as well. Modern apps don't bring almost anything new or improved to the table. They should be lightning fast but they are not.
