Games just cost too much money t9 make anymore so everyones output is down. Welcome to the HD era. Just wait till 4k becomes standard, games will take a decade to make if not two decades lol

Except for a few rare exceptions (FFXV ) I can't really see that ever being the case. If games did require a lot more work they'd just hire more staff to get it done quicker. 1000 staff for 4 years is cheaper than 500 staff for 10 years after all, assuming the average salary of the larger group isn't too much higher of course (tbh it would probably be lower due to increased outsourcing to cheaper labour markets).

Yeah true but imagine our cost 🤤
