Only me that thinks counting pixels is a the most stupid shit you can waste your time if you a gamer ?

We wouldn't have to count if the companies were upfront about it.

There is a french saying that litterally translates as "When you love you don't count." (Quand on aime on ne compte pas)

If companies had to be upfront about native resolutions it would be detrimental for games that are beautiful despite lower resolution, framerate or triangle counts.

I thought resolution doesn't matter? Why would it be detrimental if the only people who care are the #pcmasterrace who don't own any consoles anyway?
