As a 32:9 user I wouldn’t mind if they showed cutscenes in 16:9 for this reason, if they can’t optimize it. Playing baldur’s gate and everything is in 32:9 but in some cutscenes you can see stuff that shouldn’t happen at the edges sometimes, but it’s no biggie.

Console is downscaled and 30fps and one guy on pc had 45-70fps 1440p high settings using a 3600x/2080ti. But yeah, more performance info should pop up soon :)

It’s also in game pass from day one

It’s just a book. It’s legal due to freedom of speach etc. Is it stupid and in bad taste and only done to provoke? Sure, but it’s within their rights.
