I have a merely 3 year old PC I bought for 1500€ a 5600x and 3060ti, yet it for some reason can’t run cronos, a single player linear game, on low settings without constant lags

The whole game consists of grayscale. There is simply nothing that would require the computing power

And its not really a realistic progress of computing requirements, while they state that my entry level ryzen 5 5600x can run it on optimal settings, for some reason they require an extremely up to date GPU, which just tells me that they just crammed in every kind of graphics tech so their Grayscale smog looks better

      In other words, to take a shortcut to avoid expending resources at the cost of quality.

        Yes. It‘s basic theory. Everyone does it all the time and you‘ll always find a customer/user who will say that some aspect of quality has been reduced too much.

          It’s pedantry really. No one thought they meant the devs just didn’t feel like optimizing it.
