Demons are basically born and thrown out to go kill people and get stronger. They don't have families and they don't really give crud for each other. They fake human emotions and concepts to give them a predator advantage over their human prey.
I'm rejecting infinite possibilities to flat out state that its much more likely that something very unlikely to happen will not happen. That's not dubious. You can absolutely be confident that in the absence of infinite possibilities that something unlikely to happen won't happen.
Neither is it dubious to state the industry will continue to do what its already doing. Nor is it ridiculous to assume innate human qualities would be a factor in what will happen. It is not contradictory for someone to argue that infinite possibilities is ridiculous but then conclude that given 50 years humanity will never suddenly mutate into 50 armed beings and win mortal Kombat. The rejection of infinite possibilities and the focus on a grounded reality is what makes the never conclusion valid.
If you want this "too realistic" thing to be believable then you to need to get off the idea of "time makes anything possible" mentality that ignores omni-present industry factors (such as finances, human error and cultural values) and instead describe exactly what factors are needed for this to happen and the likelihood of it happening in the next 50 years. Taking refuge in the infinite possibilities of future is not going to somehow make "too realistic" games believable when there currently is and always has been an incentive to not make games anywhere near realistic; either from today with its complete inability to understand history or respect history or back then where people just wanted graphics but not realism since it would affect the gameplay.
Not to mention the human factors of different subjective views on physics, realism and the fact that someone would have to work very very hard to make a game like this.
The problem with this line of thinking is that are basically trying to compute infinity. At which then there is no point questioning what might happen because we are working with a mystery box of infinite possibilities. I'm just pointing out that realistically speaking we are never going to achieve ideals such as too realistic or proper immersion that doesn't rely on innate human belief to accept a hypothetical situation as real. There will always be something else that the industry would rather focus on because its both easier and more rewarding to do that then it is to make the "ultimate" product.
We are a point in time where culture is so fucked that it cannot possibly imagine ancient history without shoving minorities into it. That our most advanced societies are either police states (or rapidly becoming) or have cultures convinced that people who were never important in the country built the country. In 50 years its would be very unlikely for this mindset to have gone away and its effects on making immersive settings is going to last potentially forever. We won't have realistic settings if we still allow without question extreme mythologies like WW2 being fought between prosthetic british ladies and black female nazis. The human brain will detect these incredibly obvious failures and no amount of gaslighting or highly realistic graphics is going to fix that. Technology cannot make up for the lack of enthusiasm, creativity or respect for the craft that the industry will always experience.
"However, if I created an 8bit sprite of that very same thing and told you that's what it was, you would not have the same reaction"
That's not true at all. People have the capacity to understand what the imagery represents and treat it as if it was real regardless of what it looks like. Some of the scariest games are the low res games because you have to use your imagination.
And again, we're not going to get immersion because the industry is too infatuated with anything but that.

Not really going to happen because no matter what people's interpretation of what reality actually is varies heavily and there's the constant drive to insert bullshit into games by investors. We couldn't even get an authentic 15th century bohemia simulator without extreme amounts of marvel humor, feminism and token out of place Jews and a token black saving the country. We only get what financially the industry incentivises.
A few important distinctions:
-
Hard labour in United States will be significantly safer and potentially easier due to better equipment, regulations and standards.

You are going to want these jobs because they pay well. Part of the reason why there is a huge nursing shortage in Canada is because the pay is awful compared to a factory job. You can work 19 bucks an hour CAD to service 40 patients which often times means lifting 200 pounds every 10 minutes while lugging a cart that is around 300 pounds full of meds while at the same time dealing with angry patient families who think you are not giving good service (which you aren't because you have 40 patients) OR you can work in a mine doing similar back breaking labor and get paid 38 dollars CAD an hour. Even if I try to steelman the nursing position and say you are getting 32 dollars an hour (hospital wages) that's still lower than a mining job. You can't outsource nursing either but people don't want to work if they aren't getting paid properly. Mining jobs and factory jobs pay well.

US isn't Canada so it doesn't do stupid shit like freeze wages for extremely difficult jobs. The corps may be greedy but they still want the job done. You'll actually get benefits and have proper contracts that don't screw you out of benefits. At least I've not seen any real evidence that US resource extraction industry treats its workers like expendable trash.
All the people who could fight or go on an adventure are either trans'd, disenfranchised and broke or been MAID'd. But the US army would have severe difficulty killing people faster than the Canadian Healthcare system does.
I point this out but morons just say "well he's a foreigner so of course he'll put his culture above everyone else's" as if that's not an extremely racist conclusion in and out of itself or even addresses the frustration of having to deal with the character.
They don't shut up because the point of all of it is to virtue signal, rub it in and attention seek. If they were at all serious about improving their game or listening to feedback they'd go the no mans sky route of staying quiet and getting to work.
Its just funny to me that millions of people are going to buy this game because it was hyped so much when they're going to be greeted with extremely slow (probably even slower than morrowind) gameplay and character stat grinding and their reward for putting up with all of it is going to eventually cumulate into being screeched at by a feminist muslim doctor or being solicited for gay sex.
Then again millions still bought vielguard so perhaps people really are easily tricked into buying something expensive that they will clearly never like.
Whenever stuff like this happens it always the sequel or later offerings that suffers and not the origin of audience betrayal. Disney starwars was selling well even TLJ sold well and only started failing several movies later.
Unfortunately as a Canadian myself, let the tent cities grow. The job market is destroyed. The social system barely works. The healthcare system is on fire. Any amount of life support given is only going to prolong suffering and enable the stupidity that is prevalent in this country. Do you want to die quickly and painlessly or do you want to die a long drawn out death just so you can listen to these insufferable morons for several more years?
The best part is we aren't even putting money and profits before people. We're more broke than we've ever been. We literally are putting China and India before out people. They're getting rich, we aren't.
So what they mean is there is no room for blacks or Jews in the d&d universe? Because that's kinda what I notice when their reasoning for removing this stuff is because someone might think orcs are blacks and liches might be Jewish.
Wow your entire country submits to one dude in a chair and his two bodyguards who don't even appear to be armored or even trained? I wish authoritarian government's ran themselves like that... You could actually stop their tryanny that way.
TBF can you legally sell something that is worthless? China only buys canadian land because its a minor haven from their government and that clearly didn't work out for them either. There is no value from the country.
