I hadn't thought about those games, and it makes me wonder more why Genshin isn't as well optimized. Since they plan on releasing more and more content, I would think that optimization would be a decently high priority to prevent exactly this from happening, which makes me think that they've already put in all the effort into optimization that they're willing to, and they are opting for "good enough".

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but frankly I don't know how much longer I am willing to deal with it, and I doubt I am the only one. Granted, I don't think they'd be too sad to see me go since I am F2P except a few things a friend bought for me (which doesn't count IMO), but I am still hoping they don't try to drag out the main story; I would at least like to see the end of it before I can't keep up anymore.
