I don’t think anyone is saying it. Grandparent poster is inferring it incorrectly.
Is anyone, Casey or someone in this thread, complaining that Unity or Unreal have low performance? I don’t think so.
Casey Muratori’s performance rants of the past were almost always about specific pieces of software and in the most public of those he managed to show how to fix those in an acceptable timeframe.

> That's extremely reductionist. He's saying that modern software is crap regarding performance. And whenever he does complain, he manages to demonstrate it.
Did you even read the thread I was responding to?
I'm not GP, but I read the thread, and it seems like you think that this guy has severe performance problems with every piece of modern software, and therefor he has severe performance problems with UE and Unity. He doesn't though. If he did, he would probably publish some rant about the particular problems he has with these particular pieces of software
You didn't read the thread then. The parent of my parent commented that they thought performance was a problem. I was just responding to that inference. That's all.
You are talking about my post. I did not say anything specific to UE5, I was only trying to fix a misrepresentation of someone else. Please read the full thread for context, and also my replies to you if you need clarification.
Also, please read to this part of my comment if you want to understand the situation:

This is the Electron or Hybrid app argument all over again. For 95% of the applications built, the ability to launch on Win, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS far outweighs the bloat and performance hit you have. But for the few AAA titles out there, then yes supporting native support might be worthwhile.
I mean, thats what modern software development is all about - tradeoffs.
