I am somewhat sympathetic to the argument you are describing. Imagine if income tax was not automatically deducted from your paycheck, but required you to save and physically send money to the IRS (like most 1099 contractors have to do). I

What evidence would satisfy you? If I produced a study I imagine this would not change your world view, especially considering it's your occupation.

That doesn't address the point. I also do not agree with that narrative.

by starcraft2wol 3y ago
That's the most charitable interpretation I can think of. Wouldn't you agree that stereotypes are most impactful with first impressions and then diminish over time for those who know you?

I don't think this is the case. The primary limitation for games is cost of development. Creating content with an order of magnitude more detail is too expensive. The power of the last two generations of console have allowed developers

Thanks for the reply. I am still having a hard time seeing why "turning up the number of threads" doesn't solve this. Maybe for languages with JIT runtimes where each process occupies a larger piece of memory, that could be a
