I didn't know how to title this thread.
This i something recently happened to me that made me think.
Till now I bought several copies of GoIO for friends because I was (and still am) amazed by the game in probably every possible (good) way. I was kinda "turned down" when just a bunch of them continued to play it (more or less frequently) while the vast majority left after the first "test run" match.
Of course I asked them why and almost everyone said: it's nice but it's quite confusing, and stuff like that. I myself usually respect opinions different than mine so I just said them I was sorry they didn't like the game.
This until a few weeks ago when 3 of them, in a short period of time, upgraded their gaming rig and decided to give the game another try and everyone said: it's freakin' amazing, look at this, look at that, bla, bla...
So in the end it turns out they didn't want to "admit" their rig was worse than mine and the game run very badly on their old rig (unplayable fps, etc). The fact is that their rig weren't "that" bad at the time: back in early 2015 one had a 3 year medium-level machine and another had a 5 year high-end machine (don't know about the last one, but I guess it was around there too).
So, up to the point, I think many players don't get to play the game because of performance issues. Is there any way to tune further down the graphics (thinking about LOD for example) to reach a broader audience (without affecting people with good machines ofc)?
