Sam Whitaker

Sam Whitaker handles the hardware side of Metadata Games: minimum and recommended PC specs, performance targets, install sizes and how much storage a game eats after patches. Official spec sheets are the starting point, but Sam treats them as claims to be checked rather than settled facts, so a published 50 GB install gets compared against what the launcher reports after day-one updates. He also looks past the headline numbers. A recommended GPU means little without knowing which resolution, frame rate and settings preset the developer had in mind, so those details go in the entry whenever the publisher states them. Unconfirmed figures are flagged as such.
