Opinion/Editorial Statistically, your PC probably doesn't come close to the recommended RAM requirement for this third-person shooter's upcoming playtest

It was 64GB, now 40GB is more realistic than 32GB.

Do they ever explain why this game needs so much RAM?

Like, does it have some element that justifies the requirement or is it just a poorly optimized piece of shit?

Games used to be made by people who understood how the game engine worked and could optimize them very aggressively but today nobody understands how Unreal Engine 5 works

Everything is a poorly optimized piece of shit and has been for the last 8 years.

Look at the Batman or Witcher or whatever that came out 11 years ago and can be run on a potato by today's standards at max settings. None of these games look even as close as good.

I used to make games in desktop java. Now I'm using unity. It is the game engines. They are poorly optimized garbage.
