Self destructive graphics arms race is wiping out game devs.

I don't feel too many people are demanding graphics anymore. At least, not anyone who plays console. It's reached a point where is pleasing to the eye, and people who want more can find comfort on PC.

Devs killing themselves on AAA graphics have no one to blame but themselves. Just look at Darkest Dungeon: there's no reason to bang your head on the graphic wall to get good sales and reviews. Leave high end graphics to the high profile games, like first party Sony and MS, or regular record breakers like Call of Duty.
