In all my years as a software developer I have never seen or heard such rubbish being said about our industry! Was this video comisioned by Warner Brothers? Seems like it was!

Lucy tries to tell us that PC games are hard to develop/port because of all the hardware configs but forgets to mention that as all games use either OpenGL or DX API it is mainly a driver issue.

She forgets to mention that API calls made in the console version are the issue when porting to a PC, so many devs do not track properly what they would need to change in ports to the PC but she seems to love the consoles, possibly paid by M$ and Phony?

She also forgets to mention that piracy is more or less a thing of the past in PC gaming with so many games being on Steam these days but she also didn't want to mention anything about how the Xbox 1 and PS 4 are rife with piracy.

It is clear that as a journalist she is not very good at knowing the subject she is reporting on. Maybe she should just stick to making videos about how great mobile games are!

But thanks for sticking up for the poor corporate money men and putting their excuses on the table in a hope that you would be believed!
