Now this one might be a little heated, but an example of this happening is the game Stellar Blade, whilst it is still a good game, there was also a sex appeal to it which they cut out the jiggle physics and sultryness out of the game before release.
Personally, they could’ve left it in as an unlock or as a second option in case people were uncomfortable seeing a good looking woman fight monsters and jiggle about but that’s just me.
What are your thoughts on censoring games? Does it not remove the original version of the lead developers? Maybe because of cultural reasons in your country?
It does if you’re using physics to simulate it. Sure, if it’s just part of an animation you’re not losing anything by having it. But if you’re calculating the physics in real-time, it’s costly. They do it for hair, clothes, and apparently boobs now.

Is this really something you waste time thinking about, whether or not the devs waste their frame budget on boob jiggle physics?
Seriously, there’s so much to optimize in a game to get good performance, jiggling boons is way down on the list of things to worry about.
I think it depends on the developer. They might lump it in with other realism things like hair physics.
I think what OP is talking about is things being removed. It doesn’t have much to do with optimising the game.
It does if you’re using physics to simulate it. Sure, if it’s just part of an animation you’re not losing anything by having it. But if you’re calculating the physics in real-time, it’s costly. They do it for hair, clothes, and apparently boobs now.
I get that. I’m saying showing less thigh doesn’t make the game run faster and developers might not view something like that as a waste.
I feel like jiggle physics has been around for just as long
