It’s a moronic oversimplification, and making a different approach is not the same as harder.
Sad that such low energy effort without reading the article first is even upvoted. Lowest denominator rules here. 🤮
Just about nobody out there is focusing on making a steam deck optimized game right out the gate. They build a full game, then they go through and try to optimize/update ui for smaller screens. That’s additional work, on top of an already hard task of making a good game.
Sounds pretty stupid if you don’t know which platforms you want to target from the beginning.
If development really is that random and poorly planned, they are making extra work for themselves due to poor planning more than because they chose to support the Steam deck.
Of course it is, but it’s just the focus on how the UI is made that has changed, that does not inherently make it harder. It just changes some of the design goals.
I have fucking made UI’s from scratch in assembly on a pixel basis, that were better than a lot of the crap we see today.

No it’s not just hard work, it is about working differently.

yes, that’s the hard work they were talking about. why are you even arguing when you’re agreeing with what they say?
Wooosh, indeed (that’s how it’s spelled, btw).

Please believe it when a seasoned professional informs you that ingesting user feedback, implementing good UIs, and optimization are all hard work.
