Thanks, I think it was a nice thing to point out because of the power these youtube channels have and the effect it can have when they do a bad job. Its funny how they said multiple times in the video the developer was being lazy when in fact it was them doing the terrible job.

I think when someone uses fake facts to sway thousands of potential buyers you should be able to do something about it.

I think this is the ideal outcome because not only will it give the true facts but when there is really a problem the developer will also be aware of this and gets a chance to respont, for excample that they will work on the issue or any other feedback, it would give the complete picture.

I saw the original video and to my memory they never directly stated that the developer was lazy. They were confused about what was going on, cosidering the 4k hud over '1080p' gameplay and speculated that the developer 'might have ported over standart xbox code, without optimizing it specifically to the machine' and that 'it might be a placeholder'.

I think the developer was possibly referring to fans of either side calling them lazy. It just goes to show that all this pixel counting is a bit BS. If no one can tell the diffrence between 1080p and 90% of 4k on a 4k screen with the naked eye, you might as well not bother. The framerate issues are a diffrent beast, and definitly worth adressing as they impact gameplay directly.

Pretty big error on DFs side regardless, although I don't think they should be sued over it. They took the video down and posted a correction. If they, despite being corrected still pertained their version, with malicious intent, sure sue, but this seems like an honest mistake.

Perhaps it pass more time being 1080p than 90% 4k
