unrelated, but my dad’s iphone SE (1st gen) used to almost burn the house to the ground when playing hill climb racing.
The game is horribly optimized to be honest. I remember playing the old Pocket Edition on Galaxy S3
It just has an absolute ton of calculations to perform on hardware that is not made for it.
Then why did it run just fine on 10 year old phones? Its not like they added any groundbreaking new stuff.
Minecraft is despite that a horribly unoptimized game that could run fine on A LOT more hardware but has given up on even trying to do so.
There’s so so many things they could easily do especially with how big of a game it is, but they just do not.
I’d say it’s the fact that modders are able to fix the game that proves a point, but I’d rather say it’s the fact that modders fix the game SO SIGNIFICANTLY that proves a point. The fact that essentially all aspects of minecraft can be rewritten for efficiency just goes to show that Microsoft needs to divert focus for a bit.
If a tiny team of people making a mod can do so much good then Microsoft is just being insanely stupid.
Microsoft isn’t being stupid, given that they barely have to put effort into the game and billions will buy and play it.
Microsoft is stupid to me in the same sense the way the US handles capitalism is. They could’ve stopped updating at 1.8 and people would still be playing it as much.
Yeah, but it’d become a niche instead of the game that every kid plays. And, of course, updating lets them sell more stuff on their marketplace.
Is bedrock even minecraft anymore? It seems a lot more like an EA remake.
