I'll try to reformat this.
They downgraded the game to suit themselves while telling us the fans, who they've claimed to be making the games for, that it would look as it did before(
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/32644-Obvious-Downgrade?p=1525774&viewfull=1#post1525774). It would suit everyone who bought the game(at least on PC) to have it shining bright like it was intended to. It's not about me or any kind of a minority, it's about integrity first off and eye-candy secondly. Where do you even get the vocal minority figure from? The downgrade thread from earlier this year appeared to me to be the most popular thread on these forums.
It's not even like most of the things that were downgraded even have a performance hit on PC. Lens effects and textures have the most minuscule hits even when they are hacked into video games. I'm pretty sure I explained well enough what stage they were at in development when they showed those videos, it's kind of naive to think contrary to what I said.
Also it was illogical to remove them, since you brought that up. We could get into conspiracy as to why they removed them but that's dumb, saying it was okay because of "logic" is silly as well. Hope that made sense.
