You miss my point. I do not wish to 'work' on a game that I spent money on before playing. I do not get a sense of accomplishment out of tweaking a game's settings as I write software for a living, I don't even use a FPS counter, only a limiter. I simply just want to hit play and enjoy myself.
You're not going to get much understanding with that kind of comment, especially with PC enthusiasts. Most want to look at numbers and wither they can hit high setting on something literally useless.
