Because it shouldn’t be released if it needs a disclaimer. People are fed up with half finished games being sold at full price with “promises” of fixes in the future

If the game is well known not to be finished, they should have sold it as Early Access.

Non-functional requirements are still requirements.

So much this. Because optimization part is not guaranteed to come. There are many number of other developers who have done exactly this. Promise specific things, you purchase the game only for them to go… yeah about that optimization thing, it’s far easier if we just change minimum requirements and let the hardware grow into it. After we’ve already paid of our investment.

Exactly. I don’t trust any game publisher to invest the time and money into fixing ‘minor’ performance problems when people are still buying the game. As long as people continue to buy games that aren’t complete at launch we’ll continue to get games that aren’t complete.

Yhey optimized and expanded the last CS game for like ten years. It was driven by DLC but the entire time CS vanilla was getting fixes and improvements.

There were some pretty lame limitations to the core simulation that stayed there the entire time but at least the devs were pretty open about having no plans to change them.

The CS2 story won’t really play out entirely for a year or two yet.
