Sounds more like a Capcom problem than a Valve problem. Don't build mobile optimization into your games, don't make mobile sales.

Capcom specifically does two releases of Monster Hunter by two different studios, sort of alternating, for this reason.

MH World and Icebreak were the "fancy PC / Console games"

Then MH Rise and Sunbreak were the "mobile" releases.

Now MH Wilds is another "fancy PC / Consoles" release.

So Capcom does actually account for this.

I have no idea how they pull this off though, because Rise looks damn near about as good as World does IMO, with faster and crazier gameplay, and runs at 80 higher FPS. Either their "fancy PC game" team is trash or their mobile team is legendary, because I don't see how a minor change of art style and small drop in the number of individual grasses per map made such a huge change.

Now, Wilds does look a little crazy and I can understand how exactly the Deck might struggle on that one. But the playability difference between World and Rise without losing much graphical fidelity genuinely blew my mind. World limps along at 14 FPS on the Deck and Rise plays smooth as butter on the Switch as well as the Deck.
