The classic SpongeBob meme format hits too close to home here! Big-budget AAA studios charging $90 for unoptimized resource hogs that somehow need a NASA supercomputer to run mediocre graphics, while indie devs create masterpieces for $10 that run smoothly on your grandma's laptop from 2012. For reference, a 5090 GPU would cost you a kidney (if it existed), and 32GB RAM is what some developers use just to run Chrome with their Stack Overflow tabs open. The optimization gap isn't about hardware limitations—it's about caring enough to write efficient code instead of assuming everyone will just upgrade their hardware. Stardew Valley was made by ONE person and runs on a potato, yet some AAA games stutter on a $3000 rig. Pure skill issue.
