Apparently we are using different definitions of "optimized". "Running fine" is NOT the same as "optimized".

To me it means "Make the best or most effective use of a resource". That means the code should be as efficient as is possible. I have no idea why you think that either of those games were as efficient as possible at release, but I would bet that you're wrong.

We find ways to make code more efficient all the time.
