WRONG!<br>Dev costs are down. its a misconception that they're up. you can look up EAs financial reports and notice they're spending less on development. quality and quantity of content in games are up. (you cant say that voice acting or prettiness of games is down. the devs tent to focus on graphics and fidelity over depth because its easier to market it and sell more copies) and monitisation is up because of the shareholders wanting more stable revenue instead of a big bump every two years.there are assholes in the industry yes but over all we haven't had so many great games with such high level of quality in them. God of war, Red Dead 2, Spiderman, horizon and many more great games have been released in the last two years alone.,(reply>), They reuse asset all the time, so they not always created new stuff just touching u he old stuff.,(reply>), "quality and quantity of content in games are up."<br><br>Not really. Things looking better =/= more fun games and graphical advancement is going to top out or at the very least start to plateau. Which means that just having a graphically advanced game will mean nothing. Its like how the difference between low graphics and ultra has been steadily declining to the point where low graphics are still pretty high fidelity in a lot of AAA games. <br><br>Eventually "new and shiny" will be the staple and devs will be forced to innovate in other aspects than graphics.
