I just don’t get it - let’s spend so much money, development and hardware to render the most clean game possible, avoid aliasing and increase detail… And then let’s enable color distortion as if we were vieweing the game through a 1930’s cinema projector. Add in some film grain too! This saves me the effort of covering my monitor with dirt!

Make sure to make those options enabled by default on every game you release too!

    but that’s just your opinion.

    Of course. There’s nothing I can provide but my opinion, that’s how it works.

    “clean” usually isn’t the goal. Also, rendering something cleanly and rendering something detailed, while not mutually exclusive

    Film grain does not add detail, as it contains no information about the rendered object or texture. It adds grain, a content-agnostic noise to the image.
