  • I tried revanced for a while. It worked for a little and one day videos were suddenly buffering for 5 minutes at a time after around a minute of playing. I read online that it might have been yt measures against using a client like this (changing account or logging out didnt do anything. Browser played the videos fine)

    Firefox with adblocker and the extension to be able to play in the background has been my savior. Works flawlessly.






  • Imo the anger is a bit misdirected. Making a toned down version of the game takes equal the amount of resources, if not more compared to other ports. Performance wise the switch always has been a toaster, even compared to the last gen of consoles. There probably are now phones with more graphical power, so ports to hardware that is so far behind is difficult.

    I’ve ported games to switch and there is a lot of extra loops to go through to make it even remotely run at decent frame rates.

    The publisher could have made the switch version cheaper, but they probably invested more resources into it than porting it between xbox and playstation, so i can kind of understand why they didn’t.

    The argument “it looks worse so it should be cheaper” is kind of questionable, when the console they are buying it for just doesn’t allow for much better considering the art direction. If the switch was as powerful as the ps5 or current xbox, they would have made the game look as good as it is on all the other platforms.

    A valid question is if this needed a switch port at all, and considering the backlash, the publishers are probably asking themselves the same question.

    They have a clause in the announcement that if two games are sufficiently similar is content, they are counted as the same game.

    How arethey are going to determine that you ask? Probably the same way they are using to determine install count: pulling it out of their ass.
