This is the artstyle today's kids will remember as nostalgic and will try emulate dated and primitive shaders of yesteryears in Unity 7 and Unreal Engine 12 fiften years from now.
I blame WoW.
Yeah, it looks like WoW with better lighting (raytracing?). And as mentioned the saturated cartoony style has replaced the everything is brown of the late 00s/early 10s quite some time ago.
It became CalArts cartoon style of the video games, everyone is so fed up with it.
Dunno, man, it's bizarre. Whatever the reason, it feels like we've got an entire generation of artists whose brains just default to it. You'd imagine with this degree of saturation, some of 'em would start getting fed up of it too, maybe try and stand out from the crowd with something different, but nope, it keeps on coming.
at least WoW had the excuse that it was based on the Warcraft III engine, so it already had that low poly cartoon look. It certaintluy aged MUCH better than its competitor Everquest II which looked like someones bad bryce 3d art

Most of all, they never lived anything.
Because Infinitron. Because eat goyslop, goy. Because: be open-minded, click on link, let Jew eat your brain. Because bury good games being made with mountains of WOKE shit. You still think Jews wish you well and want you to play good RPGs?
And he's going to push this despite the immediate reactions all being negative.
