If an animated film today would be made like SnowWhite in the 1930's, with every frame hand drawn, every animated movie today would cost 1/2-1 Billion dollars. And nobody would make them any more because of the risk of never earning that back. So innovation was used to speed up the process through computing.

I see innovation as the only way out of the vicious cycle of bigger/better/more expensive for game development as well. It's all good being ambitious, but if the only way to achieve those ambitions is more people working longer on a project, you hit a wall sooner or later.

There are already exceptions we can see. No Man's Sky is made by about 12 people I believe. The only way to do that was through innovation. I'm not saying every game needs to be procedurally generated, but game studio's need to look at their toolsets and rethink how they make games.

No but can we get some hand drawn animation?
