This is how you spin it when you find out 50% of one of the two main 2gb megatextures was a single carrot.
Baldur's Gate 3 developers found a 34% VRAM optimization while developing the Xbox Series S port.
This could directly benefit performance for the PC, Series X, and PS5 versions as well.

Also game devs out of a job: consider not the game industry! The waterโs fine!
