Fog is the lens flare of 2020s.

Can game developers please tone it the fuсk down with the fog already? It washes away all the colors and kills the volume of the scene. There shouldn't be any fog in broad daylight!

Intentionally bloated & unoptimized [storage-wise] modern AAA with uncompressed videos, duplicate textures/models and sounds, play into both factors of:
1) slowing down the piracy rates (harder to individually distribute more games, if each weighs 100+ gigs), while inconveniencing legit customers, and
2) artificially arguing for physical copies no longer being viable, as not even blu-rays will be good enough to hold that much data.

Ex. RDR2 has 20 cow meshes, only 4 of which are actually different (the rest just has the cow-bell variants, i.e. something you could swap in memory per same entity, if your code were fast enough)

Quote #3bfрШ";=455 from parallel future descendants of game developers that came up with titles like Forspoken and Returnal:
- forsworn cometh thee to heren demain fas xir of mony prisma wigs, cis hereth - how DAARE thee quensign ohr speek?!
