I've seen that crap too and I'm equally frustrated by it. It's terrible, but at least understandable because those people don't know any better - just kids who've never had any knowledge or exposure beyond the XB360 they got handed down from older brother or whatever. OTOH, this place is filled with mostly older generation folks that have been wandering the hallowed halls of MW for long enough to know better.

I've seen many cases where devs are forced to spend cycles catering to this miserable state of affairs by coding up ways to ADD this crap into their project at the insistence of such users, without whom they would have no real test pool.

Hah, yup. Also the fact that the original game devs and artists didn't develop their games to run on such high definitions, so the games actually look far worse anyway because they override the artists' original intentions to "hide" imperfections in lower-definition rendering. But the users don't care because LQQK HI DEF!
