Dropping performance demanding features for low spec hardware sounds like a pretty reasonable solution, no scare quotes.
Microsoft kept trying to force it, and Larian kept publicly talking about how the worst Xbox is holding back the best Xbox, but they were being forced to treat them like they were the same.
Which I think is why Microsoft let them drop this.
It's better for them to be different than people know the X is getting shafted
Reminds me how much ps3 support fucked FF14 development for so long. They kept having to split zones cause the old console couldn't keep up. You would join a dungeon and wait a few mins cause tank was on ps3. Nowadays it's the ps4 support holding it back ofc
I had the same thought. Sometimes compromises are necessary.
