The answer of course is because these studios know that it sucks, they know people hate it for many and serious reasons and don’t want to be called on it. They are collectively hoping that they can pass this stuff off and nobody will notice, that they can have their cake and eat it too, receive all of the plaudits and none of the blowback.

Those disclosures are there precisely so I can exercise my preferences as a consumer to not give my time and money to projects that are making wilful and repeated use of a technology that is already having serious environmental, creative, societal, economic and cognitive effects. Getting them shoved in my face regardless, and having to comb through so many store pages and even the first few hours of playtime just to find whether a studio has been truthful or not is exhausting, and is placing a burden on me that I do not want or should not have to bear.
