I dunno about all that. They’re not making a video game for the sake of our entertainment, it’s not some artistic altruism, it’s to sell a product and make money. It’s just one of the many avenues to do so.

What you’ve said is hyperbolic and ridiculous. What you’re talking about making is a movie, and, yeah, professionally built sets and models tend to look nicer on the screen than CGI.

And while there’s probably precedent for synthesizing a dead person’s likeness for use in commercial media, it’s still fucking weird to me.
