Poor optimization is a broad topic which is why we’re making sure to define the common game scenario that drives our initiative. We cover the neglected areas of graphics optimization and visual quality since we often see modern techniques only discussed in graphics conversations such as Lumen or DDGI. But we have a whole generation of techniques that we can and should scale complexity on for our 9th gen use case. If you are a gamer or graphics enthusiast, this video is extremely important to watch.
He’s probably right but it feels like I accidentally clicked on a ragebait channel and my algorithm is going to be weird for a few days.

Damn, this video is garbage. Lots of yelling about smudging and “HOW COULD THEY?!” And then complains about how people aren’t implementing any effects like he says. And that part about “I told Epic Unreal 5.5 wasn’t ready!” Like he actually matters to Tim Sweeney.
Avoid the video. Nothing of substance or value is within.

General rule of thumb:
ANYTHING that has a “lazy devs” narrative is shit and not worth your time. Because anyone with a modicum of intelligence about how games actually are made isn’t going to throw that shit can because they understand just what kinds of pressures development teams are under.

He makes some fair points but I fully agree with your sentiment.
Had this man made a less confrontational and more educational video, he would be much more widely regarded as a fair source. Alas, he thinks the raging grants him clicks

The sad part is, he’s right.

I found that channel a couple weeks ago and without having much insight into the development side of games myself, I just thought their videos couldn‘t look more shady if they tried. Especially the plugging of their own company (?) and call for donations among other things left a bad taste. They should work on their presentation IMO.

Hard to take it seriously when he would have been, what? 3 years old 9 years ago? ;)
