EA at its finest lol

I've read a lot of comments like this.  You act like this is happening in a vacuum.  If you want a game to be 1080p/60FPS, then the safest way to do it is make Pong (just regular Pong, not a modern reimagining).  What would you prefer Battlefield 1 sacrifice to lock in at 1080p/60FPS?  Worse textures?  Closer draw distance?  Worse and/or fewer AI teammates/opponents?  Simpler geometry?  Less stuff on screen in general?  Framerate drop to 30 FPS (or a floating/inconsistent framerate)?

Just having 1080p/60FPS guarantees nothing about your playing experience.  And 60 FPS is higher than a lot of other games that hit higher frame-rates, it looks like EA decided to favour framerate over resolution.  That actually makes a lot of sense to me and I don't know why more developers don't favour dynamic resolution over dynamic framerate (or a framerate locked at/near it's lowest point, denying gamers better framerates for the less demanding sections of games).

This hate seems misplaced.

People freak out if a console costs more than $400/500 and then expect amazing performance from it for the next 5/6 years lol.

Something's got to give...
