    Runs like dogwater apparently. Recommended specs are higher than 80% of Steam gamer PCs.

    This is like 95% of all new release games on computer.

    Also, it’s missing a ton of features from SC1’s DLCs, which people were hoping for

    This is like 95% of Paradox Interactive’s business model.

    I don’t know what the freeze-gamers expect.

      the performance is egregious, I’ve read

      like you can’t hit 30 fps on medium settings with a 4060 @ 1080p

      Eh thats not “really” true. I “think” most pc games these days are indie games or small scale productions and most of the time they have rather low requirements. Now if you move into the AAA space or even just AA games your statement is closer to truth.

          Well with early access you are at least not buying a product that is supposedly finished. Even then I would assume there is a a lot of early access indie games that run just fine (I play many of them) they are just lacking in content and scope which gets added over the months till release.

          Also to be fair if the game really runs poorly it will reflect in the user reviews. There are loads of early access games with glowing reviews.

      Yep, yet another case of [current year] gaming. freeze-gamer s will never learn.

      Like, it’s better in every way to wait at least 6 months for games. Cheaper, better optimized, more features, decent guides online if you get stuck… the day-one buy is just not worth it.
