This, but unironically. Games don’t even need such realistic graphics, anyway - I’d much rather play a stylized or even 2d game where the devs focused on mechanics and fun, rather than pretty lights.

Garbage take. Few things are truly needed outside of the game being enjoyable and “good” graphics can absolutely be something contributing to that. For some good is pixel graphics, for others it’s near realism. You don’t get to decide for anyone but you.
