    The standards we used to put up with…

    Back when games were measured by how enjoyable they were rather than a little number in the corner.

        It was a different time, the novelty of the experience made up for the lower frame rate. A stable 30fps used to be considered good, and 15fps was fine for a game like WoW which didn’t really need to rely on buttery smooth gameplay.

        The internet was also just a lot slower back then, too, so in one sense the framerate only needed to be as good as your ping, essentially.
