We need to separate “tech” companies from videogames. This level of ghoulishness is insufferable. This is not progress in visual tech. This is defacing of an art form by people with ugly souls.

Your reminder that realism is not a universal creative goal. In fact, realism is rarely the most important art goal, even when it hits the list.
Anyone telling you a machine’s realism matters more than human agency and human choices in creation doesn’t understand what they’re working (read: fucking) with.
This is soul crushing.
