It could be said that console players out number high end pc users so extra money is made to enable a better game to be produced for all. Pc users need console users so let's all be happy together.

It doesn't use modern gpu/CPU to anywhere near their limit, yet it still has performance problems. That's the very definition of bad optimization. I wouldn't be surprised if this game is still single core focused.

u know.. I could argue a good argument against what u said.. I mean.. myself and others believe the game looks fine and rather up to date (I challenge u to find ANY farming game with better graphics).. but I was like "wow.. this guy has been on the forums awhile.. I wonder" so I looked thru your post history.. turns out the only time u even come on the forum really is when a new version of the game releases and then its only to continuously spew your displeasure.. u literally seem to take issue with every single thing about this game.. so at this point I see no further argument being needed.. people like u already validate every single point ive made simply by being u.. have a nice day

Force us all to get high end PCs.

We are clearly holding everyone back in terms of development.

I’m sure Giants is aware. I doubt they want to lose that income. I’m always amazed by the hubris of ‘PC” users. But, I’m used to it. PC World has a pretty well balanced article that addresses the “war” that will never end. I don’t object to PC exclusive maps and mods but do object to the outrage over the possibility of console exclusive maps and mods. Look up the article…it might help explain some of the “whys.”

DjGoham recently made a survey in one of his well visited livestreams and asked on which device we are playing FarmSim.

66% of the voters play on console!

The detailed votes where approximately like that:
33% PC
33% old gen Consoles
33% new gen Consoles

Therefore I think consoles and their players are very important for Giants.

I see no way on 99% of the maps you will come close to the slot count unless you are just spamming equipment on your maps.
