You nailed it. What "Passes" in a AAA studio is whatever the director approves of. It's 100% an economic decision. Nowadays directors approve shit like this because they just hold their 3rd world contractors to a lower standard than they would any brand new domestic applicant.

Asset quality isn't even the worst part, the whole "nasapunk" aesthetic they proudly kept talking only made it's way to the final game in form of a few outfits, game just looks like generic sci-fi slop. Gone are the days when bethesda had strong visionary art leads

Don't take those figures at face value, take inflation into consideration as well. We're in a recession

The industry is washed. Being independent is where the money and security is
