I try to follow the gaming space and I didn’t really see anyone talk about optimization until the Steam deck grew. I do wish more companies were open about their development process so we actually had some data. The switch/switch 2 very well could have pushed it, but I think with those consoles people just accept that they might not get all the full modern AAA games, they’re getting Pokemon and Mario and such. Where as the steam deck they want everything in their steam library. I dunno

I have no real data, just what I’ve seen people discussing.
