Ok, so around 4 million users. I wonder what the overlap of 4K owners and people who play city builders is?

I feel like this is grasping at straws? Plenty of unorthodox games go mainstream. Can’t expect consumer hardware to the stay the same forever. This game is just poorly optimized.

I think I'm giving people the opposite impression that I intended.

Well-compensated people (like engineers) are more likely to own a 4K monitor and high-end GPU, so I meant to convey that there's probably a large overlap with the type of people who play city builders (like engineers), so they really should have accounted for that.

It was only after I bought my 4K 120Hz OLED that I found out how popular they are for sims, including pinball. It's been awesome.

Anecdotal evidence: I play at 4k if I can manage, and I sport a 2060S.
