He also said this: “It’s really a delight to constantly beat impossible memory constraints with a growing game to allow people to continue to experience and enjoy No Man’s Sky,” the engine programmer concluded.”

He complained stupidly. Ofc they dont have infinite ram like in pc. The pb is why the game dev do not optimize their game from start ? Modern games are using 100Gb 32/64G ram w/o much improment in gameplay

Ngl, this limitation only helps pc players. They probably will drop switch 1 support some day, but these very limiting platforms have a really good trickle up effect on performance for the platforms without as strict limits

I’m curious why the ps4 and xbox one aren’t mentioned as well. Both those consoles have less memory than either the steam deck or switch 2

I’d rather you shift focus to Light No Fire than continue NMS at this point. Shit was revealed 3 years ago.

Quote mining is lame haha. Context is what matters.
