I hope he's not measuring with fraps because I heard it will halve the actual value, so 60fps shows up as 30 on fraps.

He doesn't. If you watch he video on the new Batman game and Dying Light he talks about not using Fraps due to the issues it causes to being accurate.

I don't think attaching shame to this sort of thing is appropriate. This is one of those topics that boils down to "my preferences are more important than your liberties." It's a real shame, because it's just another one of those stupid topics that creates divisions in the community. Because we need more of that over stupid shit.
The gamers were the ones who spoke up and said they want more games, more indie games, more cheap games, but they still demand AAA performance. Having cake, eating too. Doesn't work.

This is a ridiculous comment. It's not just preferences. 60 is objectively better. It looks better and results in smoother gameplay. How is this infringing on anyone's liberties in any way? That's ludicrous.
And 'AAA performance'? AAA does not have anything to do with this. You don't need a million dollar budget to hit 60 FPS. Don't lock your framerate arbitrarily, done. Some optimization wouldn't hurt either. Maybe you should understand the technicalities of game development a bit better before pulling the entitled gamers card.
It doesn't matter if "60 fps is objectively better." There are tons and tons of gamers who don't really care. You could argue that this engine is objectively better than that engine, and nobody is lining up to curate a Steam list of developers with the audacity to use a lesser engine.
I love how you talk about "some optimization wouldn't hurt" and in the same paragraph tell ME that I don't understand the technicalities of game design. Why don't you demonstrate your profound understanding by explaining what "some optimization" involves. (Hint: I know what it involves, because I've done it, so don't think some half-assed answer is going to fly, and don't think avoiding the question is going to work, either.)

If you don't care that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with informing people about the framerate of the product they're purchasing.

I think TotalBiscuit should be doing the opposite: promote the games that achieve 60 FPS or higher with stable, optimized performance natively.

Why? That should be standard. We shouldnt praise people for doing what is required of them.

It shouldn't be an achievement to have a game run at 60+ fps on good hardware, the group is good for showcasing shitty console/mobile ports that fail to reach that standard of quality or optimization.
