I'm baffled how anyone is seeing this as a bad thing.

Sure get pissed off when companies go "it requires X to run" only to find out that hardware will run the game at 2 fps and probably crash every 10 minutes. But getting pissed off that the game does work on something under the minimum that CCP recommend? wtf?

I say fair play CCP for actually providing minimum specs that run the game in a playable way :)

A game requiring X to run would probably need to supply the source.

That's odd. I have an Asus v500 laptop which has an nvidia630m. However in eves graphics settings the only option I ever had for video was Intel 4000 HD. Not sure what's going on there. I get good performance with AA on low. Shaders on medium.

I am most certainly not complaining about it working. I am very happy for it. My complaint is when I searched the forums, all I saw were posts saying that the HD 4000 was going to get low FPS even at low settings, and some saying that it was basically unplayable. I nearly didnt even bother trying. So I am pissed that people with zero experience with it are telling curious people that it isnt possible/feasible.

“Minimum requirement” doesn't mean “less than this and the game will not run/uninstall itself in shame/explode” — it means that they offer no guarantees that it will work or that you will see any kind of reasonable performance, and will not test for compatibility from now on. If it does (and it almost always does if it's just a spec bump rather than a specific hardware feature requirement), then great, but don't expect it to keep working.



^^^ tippia gets it

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

Nobody's saying that, quite the opposite.
