what fear mongering ? I just said what I am not sure of. and you dont know that for sure either. game makers could simply stop drawing low resolution textures in the future . has nothing to do with the Ratio of the screen.
and I told him it will work fine. there is no fear mongering here.
VGA resolution (640x480) has been around since 1987. Please show me a list of mainstream games that came out in the last decade that do not support this ancient resolution. I'm 99% certain that any such games can be counted on one hand, if they exist at all.
What I'm getting at here is that it is completely asinine to suggest that 1600x900 will not be a usable resolution anytime in the near future unless the entertainment industry, TV/display manufacturing industry and all independent content creators just die off instantly, and all existing 1080p or lower displays simultaneously explode in their users' faces. Support for the aspect ratio very much dictates whether or not a resolution will be supported as I cannot think of a single instance where a
lower resolution was not supported (not quite the case with higher though as with 4k and some bad console ports).
Maybe you didn't mean to word it the way you did, but it seriously seemed like you were implying that in the near future,developers might decide to prevent their games from launching at 1600x900 (or lower than 1080p in general) for vague and arbitrary reasons.
