It doesn’t hurt that a brand new console, the switch 2, will ensure new AAA releases will still be playable on older mobile hardware. It guarantees that the current deck will still be able to chug along with new releases for another 6 or so years.
Never underestimate the siren song alure of releasing the least optimized UE5 game ever made. Publishers seem to really struggle with that temptation.
I hadn’t thought about that, but you are so correct it hurts.
