Specs aren't everything and don't tell a whole story.

I think they do tell the specific story of how much RAM is in there though don't they?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure? Where are you going with this?

I'm saying that it's a legitimate thing to report on and question because it's not information we don't have. They are arguing that the reporting is attacking something based on assumptions, but it's not assumptions it's facts we know. Seems perfectly reasonable question to ask.

The assumption is not that it has 8GB of RAM. The assumption is that 8GB of RAM is a "problem".

That's not an assumption, that's a fact. As any honest person who games these days will tell you. Also they're not assuming they're explaining their reasoning and argument it's pretty clearly.

That's not a fact. At all.

And I'm pretty sure they'll test it before releasing. I've heard steam has a rather large library of games to try.
