Saw a smash JT video recently where he was talking about manjaw in AAA games and the cause of it.
The short of it is he did zero research, got sent a video telling him "This is why models are ugly now." and blindly believes it.
The problem with this is, not a lot of games that have these manjaws are made with Unreal and anyone who really thinks about it would realize this.
The example he even opens with (Spiderman 2) had nothing to do with Unreal. So I knew some bullshit was afoot because my brain mostly works.
I had some free time today and a minor curiosity so I googled and found out it actually has a web browser version you can customize characters with.
And you don't even need to install unreal to use it you just need an epic account. This faggot is so lazy he can't even do basic checking.

The characters are ugly and there are about 15-20 to choose from? I really didn't count.
One of the first things I found though was the ability to sculpt
It is not great, but again these are stock models. I find it highly unlikely that AAA companies are using the same 20 people to make characters in video games. (However, Deborah Wilson being used over and over again maybe they are...) There appears to be an option to upload your own models to work with. I don't think this is industry standard either way as its limited to one specific engine and it seems kind of... limited.
Just annoying he put out low effort shit like this and it undermines any real discussion because he wants to make a quick buck.
E: grammar fix.
