Bulkheads stance on "potato-mode"

First of all just to leave proper credit; this is a clip from www.twitch.tv/cohhcarnage , www.twitch.tv/itmejp & www.twitch.tv/ezekiel_iii 's vlog Dropped Frames on Twitch. The full thing is available in JP's vods here.

Since people were throwing theories around about this subject I thought it might be nice to hear about it straight from the devs.
