There was a fun Reddit thread a while ago where someone compiled several screenshots of older Reddit posts, videogame articles and forum posts, showing how every single year people claim “games today are so unoptimized” and “current year is when things started going downhill”.
And you citing Baldur’s Gate 3 as an example is somewhat interesting - the game’s engine actually does have an optimization issue, a huge one: it only leverages 4 threads for the CPU. Everything above that gets underutilized and the game becomes extremely slow in places like Baldur’s Gate itself thanks to the CPU being hammered.
