Generally, but not in many cases. I do entertainment software.
Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo set the machine spec, and that's what
you have to work with. When working on the new breed of highly
dynamic environments it's becoming difficult to fall back to the
traditional solution of a fixed-size asset base. Memory shortages in
particular are acute and need to be dealt with on an excessively
regular basis, and usually in ways that affect the fundamental
architecture of the product. Sadly, methodologies for exception
condition handling are just poor and obscenely difficult to test.
