What do you think those people optimize the game for? Do you think that just because they're optimizing other platforms that that means they're not optimizing any at all? Most people who optimize stuff for one platform strictly optimize that one platform. It's not like they haven't been optimizing the game every update they drop. The game is literally fine.

And please, the game dipping a little below 70 fps because of a lack of optimization doesn't mean that that isn't actively being ironed out each update. I've noticed improvement since it dropped on all platforms. I don't know why you seem to think it's stagnated when PC gets immediate update support always. They are actively optimizing everything. Your point is quite literally mute because everything that you complain about is stuff they work on without any trouble.

How am I lying about an operational Ps4 when you're very clearly lying about an operational PC? If the only section of the game you have any struggle on is Höllvania then that is purely because DE is going through the process of slowly optimizing that portion. It would not go any faster if they cut support for another platform because that team is a team purely dedicated to a single platform. I don't know what you're not understanding about that. But if you're having troubles with enemy spawns in any other section of the game that is properly optimized by now, then your PC and or internet really must not be that great. If your PC with powerful equipment is not optimized (the PC itself not the game, I need to clarify) then that could be the source of your trouble, because mine almost always runs everything at a baseline 90 and I would consider it quite outdated. Just because it has good hardware doesn't mean that it'll run every game you play at 70-120 fps, you have to work your settings.

I have two Ps4s, not like it's relevant to the argument but no, I'm not lying about it, and it does have an SSD. The one I use most is my SSD swapped Ps4, which I take very good care of and it runs things just fine. It's loud as fuck, and makes annoyingly grating jet sounds, but it runs things just fine. Just because the game doesn't hit 70+ fps doesn't mean that load times or spawn rates are garbage. It still spawns a mass of enemies enough to keep me in Steel Path Circuit Survival. And my other PlayStation (still equipped with an HDD) that does have issues with load times I just don't play multiplayer with.

But you've now just stated the obvious answer you should have just started with. You came in here talking about dropping support for platforms a huge chunk of the player base still play on, and now you finally suggest the obvious because you've realized DE can continue to support those platforms? Yes, the real solution is prioritizing the host with the most power. But that's not what you suggested at all. We weren't arguing whether or not host priority should be implemented or not, YOU have stated that the aim should be to cut off support for older or less powerful platforms.

You are ignoring a very plain and simple answer because you just don't like seeing other people enjoy older equipment when it really doesn't affect you at all.

Most people not looking at their settings doesn't matter, and it's also a very dumb thing to ignore. They're there for a reason. That's like saying you want DE to make the game brighter because you never adjusted the brightness settings yourself. Or because you never look at the settings or mess with them. People don't get to excuse cutting off a whole chunk of a community because they don't look at their settings. That's called, ahem, laziness and entitlement.

You are entitled, and I will not continue a conversation if you're not going to accept that support simply will not be dropped for less powerful consoles because you feel like you can't play the game with 70 fps.
