yeah but you have a video card in your system
I think most of the people playing the game have an integrated graphics chip with shared vram.
We're not using desktop machines, we're usually on run-of-the-mill laptops which arent designed for gaming.
I think the graphics survey done back on version 3.3 may have been misleading about what people actually had. Even if the OGL version is decent that does not mean the performance of its video/cpu is at an expected level.
Nobody uses a full-powered vidya desktop for retro gaming.
Since these are retro games, there's no need for dedicated gaming rigs for them. Thats one of the pluses of /vr/ and the doom community, you're supposed to be able to run it on a toaster because these are toaster games.
And obviously, if a game has high end features added to a sourceport, those can be shut off if they are too graphics intensive for a toaster to use. At least, this is the expectation.
/v/ type shit isnt always practical for a person's lifetyle anyway. A gaming laptop is more likely to get stolen in public if you walk away to use the restroom, if it looks more older style maybe with some scratches on the lid nobody wants to bother with that. Then again someone might be playing it on their work laptop, which is definitely NOT going to be a gaming laptop.
