They focused so much on hyper realistic graphics that they forgot about the most important part of a game: being fun.

I've sunk way more hours in an "ugly" game such as space haven or balatro this year than in any ultra beautiful (and void of fun) AAA game.

I'm guessing the prettiness attracts more than a great gameplay. But I'm basically there with you.

I suspect the prettiness sells better in the investment meetings to people who have no clue about gameplay anyway.
