It's a new day, and another badly-optimized AAA Unreal Engine 5 game has hit store shelves. A couple of YouTubers, including Daniel Owen, have discovered serious performance problems in The Outer Worlds 2 that almost mirror Borderlands 4's atrocious launch day performance. One of the most problematic graphics settings is the game's ray tracing mode, which prevents even AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming champ from achieving 60 FPS at resolutions well under 1080p.

Many of us here aren't buying them. A core audience of people who don't know anything about hardware capabilities and aren't a part of niche gaming communities will keep buying them because they don't know better. Most people look at a game and say, "that looks fun" and they buy it without another thought. Your advice will never reach those people.
