Drama: Is 'Wakerunners' Too Greedy? iOS Users Locked Out Due to High RAM Requirements

The game 'Wakerunners' recently launched on iOS, but it was immediately met with backlash due to strict hardware requirements. Many players discovered that the game refuses to run on any Apple device with less than 4GB of RAM, leaving those with older models feeling blindsided by the developers.

The community response is divided. Some argue that limiting hardware is a way to ensure a stable experience. However, critics point out that this is a turn-based strategy game, not a demanding open-world title, yet its hardware requirements exceed those of industry leaders. Players are suspicious that the developer is masking poor optimization by artificially creating a high entry barrier.

Players have been quick to comment that even older devices like the iPhone X can run graphically intensive games like 'Genshin Impact' (often referred to in the community as 'Yuanshen'), making the high requirements for this turn-based game look like an optimization failure. The general consensus is that if the game cannot run on devices older than the iPhone XS, it's not a sign of quality, but rather a sign of poor development standards.
