Comment on Cities Skylines 2 dev stuck to launch date despite “potential kicking”

I am a firm believer that if you have a bleeding edge system you are 100% entitled to playing stuff in max settings (at least in reasonable resolution). I don’t see the point in blaming the customers when there is clearly a faulty product here.

Just to clear things up I am definitely not one of those people with the bleeding edge system with my 3060.

100% a top of the line cpu and gpu should not have problems running the game on max settings. It’s so weird seeing everyone defend a game with terrible performance if you want to exercise any of the graphics options

I feel like some games want to future proof, so I could understand how there are graphic modes which are not feasible with current hardware.

I don’t have a dog in this fight but bleeding edge literally implies that unreliability is to be expected. That’s why it’s bleeding edge and not leading edge.

  English is not my native language so I may have used the term wrongly, I meant “bleeding edge” as basically very high end.

    Buddy is being pedantic, in casual use most people will use bleeding edge exactly same use case as you are using it.

    It’s not being pedantic; I’m not correcting their use of an incorrect word that doesn’t matter. There’s a pretty big distinction between leading edge and bleeding edge, especially when it comes to stated disappointment that a software or program isn’t as stable as expected.
    
    No need to toss insults just to jump to the defense of someone in a pretty simple misunderstanding.

    No worries; that would be leading edge, which you’re probably correct in your original statement with that in mind.
    
    Bleeding edge in English generally refers to day zero hardware, software, or services, in which mainstream support most likely doesn’t exist and it is generally anticipated that issues will be encountered.
