The damning part is their admission that, despite last-gen consoles (which, bear in mind, were current-gen up until literally weeks before the game's launch) being almost certainly the game's largest user base, they were optimising the game for PC first, current-gen consoles second, and last-gen consoles a distant third.Not sure why damning or not convincing, but then I've seen how it works on the inside. I've seen where something is working on one platform, so they use it for reviews and media, with the assumption that the other platform will 'get there'. And it can seem quite plausible, though it's never as certain as they think it is in my experience.
The not-convincing part is the assertion that they had any real expectation of being able to finish optimising the game for last-gen consoles by the time the game launched.
