Fake Optimization in Modern Graphics (And How We Hope To Save It)

We are a new indie game studio working on a new IP but a couple years ago we discovered a huge narrative behind optimization that was not only destructive to realism and motion, but also false. This false narrative is being abused more than ever by industry leaders. We want to change the direction the industry is heading so that sufficient hardware is not buried for the sake of unnecessary hardware sales and mass consumer manipulation. But we need both gamers and developers more aware of this massive industry oxymoron.
