I humbly apologize for my assumptions, I suppose I'm just used to most other people using words to mean what most other people generally use them to mean.
So I'd like to try to get past this misunderstanding.
The phrases "well developed" and "well optimized" are used rather interchangeably in game forums like these. It is true that they are not quite the same thing but they are very similar. With "well developed" and if actually used to mean its literal form, we would be saying that a game has been well created in it's functional, visual and usable aspects. Which is what you are saying you meant here, however you are saying it has no relation to the more literal interpretation of "well optimized."
In it's more literal interpretation, "well optimized" would be referring just to the games ability to run smoothly and, mostly, glitch free across the majority of platforms. Since you are stating that you had no intention of referring to this specifically but instead the former, more specifically just the visual aspect, I think I need you to elaborate on something for me.
Why would you bring up other player's "shitty computers" if all you care about is how "well developed" the game is and not how "well optimized" the game is?
I mean, I'm really quite confused here. Why would you think it was bold of me to assume the intention of your words when they go contradictory to your explanation just now. If the game is well developed but is also poorly optimized, then wouldn't it make sense that it isn't everyone else's "shitty computers" but instead a problem with the lack of optimization passes to ensure that it should work on most systems? The only conclusion I could come to was that you are assuming that the game is not only "well developed" but also "well optimized" since you go out of your way to point out that the only reason people complain here is because they have bad computers.
Please do help me understand where my logic went wrong, I'm at a loss really.
