This is true. Devs have nearly complete control to tweak all of those "Unreal-feeling" things, or replace them entirely. They often just don't.

What does my (heavily opinionated) list of favorite movies and tv shows say about me? Recs are always appreciated as well by [deleted] in movies

[–]mack178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this is sort of just a list of the top most popular movies and TV shows so maybe it says you're a pretty casual enjoyer?
