To be fair, lighting is the most important part of generating photorealistic graphics. Having realistic and real-time lighting makes it look so much more realistic

photorealistic ... realistic ... real-time ... more realistic ...

We had a tool for that: it was called IMAGINATION

The graphical fidelity fetish has complete ruined gamers' ability to immerse themselves in make believe worlds without the game doing all the work for us

My tone is /s, but despite my hypocrisy I do believe this is half true

Its not like games that tried to be realistic before didn't exist and not like games that purposely go for a non realistic style now are not a thing. I'm pretty sure we have more pixel style graphics games coming out now yearly than when they were actually a thing.
