    GPU consumption is more reliable to know how old a game is than its graphics.

    When Minecraft was released, I thought it was an accident. That no other game could be popular and run with with an inappropriate language such as Java.

    I was so wrong.

      I mean, there aren’t a lot of Java games, and C# (especially with newer runtimes) isn’t that bad if that’s what you’re referencing.

      The old Civ games were a lot of Python, which is perhaps the most atrocious of all, performance wise. But they worked okay.

        No, I was referencing to Javascript or game release too soon that turn computers into toasters. Last I played was RVchere yet; less polygons than Half Life Source, constantly crash because we got not enough ressources.
