Yep, that lie never held water. Face scanning is a solved problem that's been used in games for decades now. We already have documented evidence of devs admitting to uggifying models either for their stupid cult reasons or because some ugly female in middle-management demanded it, so this is one of the dumbest excuses they still try to pull.
A lot of modern devs are being outright scam artists which is why I call them out, they make all sorts of bizarre excuses for not doing the most basic shit and now they're even fucking around with photogrammetry techniques for the sake of hitting their stupid DEI targets and like you point out appeasing the feminists in their company so they don't upset anyone or so they can get laid.
I think the theory that these bitches got mad when these pretty actresses came along to do their thing and they wanted revenge is probably true because it's women. They probably hated how much attention the actresses were likely getting from their male colleagues. Also this idea that it takes millions or even billions to make a video game is a total fucking lie as well, it's just another way they're trying to pull up the ladder behind themselves and justify their ridiculous funding from suspicious sources.
how much attention the actresses were likely getting
Even just perceived attention. An actress shows up to do her job; guess what? You have to direct her. There will be a lot of interaction, back and forth, and possibly even positioning, requiring gasp physical contact.
Average manager? You go out of your way not to interact with them.
