Yeah? So? Do your job and optimize it. If they can get BG3, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk running on it then I'm sure you can get an action adventure Dune game running on it.

I don't understand the hate for Series S, it's an amazing console for the price, where a huge chunk of Xbox gamers are, and forcing devs to optimize their games for low end hardware ends up benefiting everyone.

So far it sounds like the only game that was actually a real issue optimizing for the S was BG3 and that's because of its insanely high RAM usage between all the rippling choices that can have happened by Act 3. And the solution there was simply to implement a memory buffer that smoothed out RAM usage spikes and ended up benefiting every platform.
