    It takes a mega g*mer brain to see problems in a complex industry comprised of layers of developers, artists, writers, playtesters, publishers, advertisers, shareholders, etc. and reduce it to “graphics bad”.

      Complex industry that is vertically directed by capitalists who only answer to safe returns on investment, especially since we are only talking about AAA. Dumping money into graphics really is a systemic problem that causes a lot of smaller issues.
