The gaming industry spent billions pursuing the idea that customers wanted realistic graphics. Did executives misread the market?

    The game of the year was a cutesy cartoon game about a robot. I don’t think there’s a problem here.

        Yeah I did read the article. That’s why I know what the article is about, and the fact that he’s complaining about graphical fidelity in games and not getting the profit benefit. clearly AAA studios aren’t actually having this issue because, like I said, the winner of the game awards this year was a cartoony game, so clearly they are well aware that graphics aren’t everything.
