Pixels vs Photorealism | Why Players Keep Choosing Low-Fi

Описание: Is the future of gaming actually low-fidelity? From the "massive trick" of early silicon to the rise of AI-generated worlds, we uncover why players are choosing pixelated blocks over photorealism. We trace the evolution from 1950s vacuum tubes like "Birdie the Brain" to the ethical dilemmas of Gacha mechanics in games like Genshin Impact. Finally, we look at 2030, where Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) might make controllers obsolete. Join us as we explore the Era of Infinite Play.
