mods aren't for everyone but the Steam Deck Essentials mod boosted me like 10 fps in most areas and I've had a pretty good time

This is hilarious, a mod released within a week of the game's launch boosts it by 10 FPS. Why can modders do it but not the dev team?

Most likely because it makes the game look more potato than the Devs were willing to allow

I'm gonna give the devs the benefit of the doubt and say maybe they don't want to ship compressed textures by default since plenty of people will need them to play on ultra settings, but a modder can cater to the smaller, dedicated fanbase on the steam deck. but idk I'm not a dev
