I am watching the same videos. I simply fundamentally disagree with the premise that "studio lighting everywhere" = better and photo-realistic. But besides all of that, most video games do not actually go for photo-realism as an artistic direction, they bake their lighting in certain ways, intentionally add shadow to create ambience, plus 10000 other things I am unqualified to discuss here.
But again, feel free to enjoy what the AI sloppinators are offering, you are on the winning side of that battle as far as investments and bubble-making goes. I simply gave my view on it and regret the direction we are collectively taking, willingly or kicking and screaming towards infinite dogshit.

Dude. Game devs are never going to work on high res assets ever again. The world will be built on a HL1 level engine and be upscaled to photoreal.
Just because you can’t accept that doesn’t mean we haven’t crossed the Rubicon. Cheers, welcome to God’s magical world you spoiled brat.
