> A few days later after the build is pushed to beta testers, you get a bug report that the game window can no longer be moved around. And then you realize that you just disabled the system’s ability to move the window around, because that is done using legacy input.
I don't think I've seen any AAA games that allow me to run them in windowed mode with decent performance.
Valorant, for example, switches to windowed mode when I press Alt-Enter by mistake, but doesn't allow me to interact with the window much. It also locks up completely when Alt-Tabbing, so I don't know what's going on there.
Plus, I think the general expectation is to always run AAA games in full-screen mode. In such cases, disabling legacy messages is a viable approach.
That's odd, because in my experience almost all games run best in "Borderless windowed" mode.
You get full-screen performance with the ability to easily alt-tab without mode changes.
