He said that as an answer of all the people on Twitter blaming him for the "free-pass" the Switch apparently have regarding tech features, where they can be harsh on other platforms.

And that's pretty sad cause people are trolls and don't deserve to get any answer to their nonsense.

And still those same people will post "lol Switch is garbage" in the comments. I mean, what's the point ?

I mean, it's the "worst" version of the game if you're talking about graphics and performance, but not if you want to play handheld or love gyro aiming.

The comments sections in these DF reviews of Switch reviews are always full of people saying "lol shit graphics what's the point of this port" and completely missing the point of why a dev would want to bring a game to a mobile platform. 

There are handheld PC's which will outperform the Switch.

TLDR.
It is the worst way to play the game, but it's also an absolute achievement in porting to the Switch with this level of fidelity.

If you don't care about framerates and visuals and wish to play it in portable mode, you really can't go wrong unless you get a handheld PC or use xcloud.

I am keen to see how the next idtech game looks on Switch, the engine seems to be making big strides forwards.

Uh, excuse me? If people didn't care about any of this, they wouldn't be looking for this video to know if they're dealing with a shit port. Maybe what you are trying to say is "people that don't care about not having the best visual performance of all versions of the game because they rather play it on a platform that best suits their tastes than look upon the other versions to disdain on them"

When I say if you "don't care about framerates and visuals" I am talking about the 30fps cap rather than 60fps or 120fps.
When i say visuals... I am talking sub 480P.

It's still a great experience on a handheld, but if you want 4k, 8k, 240fps... Then yes, the Switch version is the worst version.
