Monster hunter Memes

So someone discovered that Monster Hunter Wilds was doing aggressive DLC ownership checks that tanked performance. A modder tricked the game into thinking they owned all DLC and boom—instant FPS boost. The unintentional part? Capcom wasn't trying to punish pirates or non-buyers. They just wrote such inefficient code that checking your DLC status every frame became a performance bottleneck. The punchline writes itself: Capcom's management seeing this bug report and realizing they can now market DLC as a "performance enhancement feature." Why optimize your game engine when you can monetize the fix? It's like charging people to remove the memory leak you accidentally shipped. That Homelander smile at the end perfectly captures corporate executives discovering they can turn their own incompetence into a revenue stream. Chef's kiss.

Billion-dollar GPU vs. one efficient Japanese coder? Not even a contest. While we're all chasing fancy hardware to run our bloated, framework-heavy code, Japanese game devs are out here making masterpieces run on calculators. Monster Hunter and Elden Ring weren't built with 16 layers of abstraction and 800MB of node_modules. The rest of us are like "I need a quantum computer to center this div" while they're squeezing every last cycle from hardware like it's still the PS2 era. Efficiency is apparently a lost art everywhere except Japan.
