Perspectives from the Field
You can't optimize what you don't measure. I've watched too many
projects focus on the wrong metrics—frame rate looks great but
users quit because loading takes forever.
Real performance work means understanding player experience, not
just hitting technical benchmarks. And honestly? Most studios skip
the boring parts that actually matter. Testing on real devices in
bad network conditions tells you more than any simulator ever
will.
The gap between high-end and budget devices keeps widening. If
your game only works well on flagship phones, you're leaving most
players behind.
