I understand the issue here. I just wanted make my intentions crystal clear, as you was not entirely sure. Although, I do not entirely agree. Why? Because it is in the right of not caring other what affects you. Unless someone goes out of the way trying to stop the “optimization” for low end hardware, its totally fine if someone says “I don’t care, it doesn’t affect me”.
I am against elitism too. In example on a different subject, but similar reasoning is emulation vs real hardware enthusiasts. Those people don’t like how easy we have access to expensive games and hardware (for free) and therefore they are against it. This is the definition of elitism. And this is a different issue than people with high end hardware not caring about low end hardware, because it does not affect them. Not caring is okay to me.
Understood. My issue is more abstract. It would be nice if some who don’t need it also put their support behind the concept for altruistic reasons and because they realize it could affect them when their hardware is no longer cutting edge.
