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

I like how the first line of this article below the images states how epic’s flagship unreal 5 game has outdated graphics… Doesn’t make me feel like they did any sort of research.

The flagship Unreal 5 game released on Unreal 4 in 2017 has outdated graphics, yes.

People aren’t playing the original version anymore though?

But it doesn’t have cutting edge graphics now that it’s 7 years older just because it technically runs on the newer version of the engine under the hood. It runs on phones, after all.
