Title is tongue in cheek, of course—they probably are gamers. I get that making a game is complex and full of trade-offs, and you can’t please everyone. Still, there are certain design decisions that just feel like they weren’t made by people who play games regularly.

E-mail the developers that you know they're using ultrawides and will literally never figure out how. And that's part of the problem.
