    The people working on the lighting and high res textures don’t usually design or implement gameplay mechanics or story elements.

      You have a schedule And it’s a pipeline

      When design calls for a change, you need art and dev to do more.

      If CI takes forever and devs are fighting for perf, everyone gets backed up.

      You can see in the releases, gameplay often takes a backseat to pretty.
