Of course I'm conflating cost saving techniques because that's part of the scam. I've seen how tech companies in general operate this way because it's all pretty well laid out as nothing is technically illegal even though it's shady as fuck.

CEOs create small tech businesses hyping them up whatever their selling as the next big thing to go up against the evil Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook when their whole goal as it turns out is to get bought out by those exact companies or some other bigger competitor. They walk away with the cash while their unwitting employees get the boot and this happens more often than you think. What's fascinating about the types of people who do these start up companies as well is sometimes they're even young and they're often people already with ties to these businesses and they're using these startup companies to make their money.

Seems you missed where I pointed out that SpeedTree and paid assets generally are not a problem by themselves, it's just more often than not many projects by big studios now especially in the games industry are shameless and poorly disguised asset flips in reality if you look at their back end for longer than 5 seconds. Yes, paid assets aren't the exclusively 'bad thing' that coincides with ESG, it's just how many of these companies facilitate what frankly I would be almost willing to call an outright scam these days because of how little work is put into these projects and these are the tools they use to do it.

It's undeniable unless you're dishonest that paid assets factor in hugely into the total collapse of any kind of production standards. There's cost saving techniques and then there's laziness. In short, these games are not worth the $60 they're charging and definitely not worth $70 they want to charge.
