no the devs are incompetent it's what it is.
passionless corporate fuckwits who back in the day would only make licenced shovelware
now they have access to modern engines that are already set up by default to reduce the effort they have to put in
they have access to pajeet outsourcing to reduce half of their workload
they just slap shit on Unreal or whatever, scream "LOOK AT THAT OLD GAME YOU LOVED, NOW IT HAS 8K TEXTURES AND THOUSANDS OF TRIANGLES PER MODEL" and mindless idiots just lap it up
