If we take Ubisoft’s assassins creeds latest instalments for example. I always read how it’s unoptimised and that this contributes to poor performance. What does this mean?
Do the developers purposely create code that runs badly on pc?
Is it very hard to optimise games so that it runs better?
How does optimising affect whether or not older hardware can run a game well?
Many thanks!

They aren’t purposefully creating bad code.
But it does take extra work and effort and time to make optimize a game to make it run better.
Instead of spending this time to make the game run perfectly, they’re instead just working on it enough so it “works” and sending that out.
This corner cutting leads to a game that doesn’t run as well.
And optimizing effects how older hardware can run the game or not because a well optimized games are less intensive on computers. Just to give random numbers, a well optimized game might only have to do 50 million computations, as opposed to one that isn’t having to do 100 million computations.
A well optimized code is a code that runs efficiently and doesn’t require too many extra calculations or computations or conversions
