At some point we're gonna need some type of non-profit, open source company that develops massive asset packs for game engines in order to move the industry forward significantly. Companies are wasting a lot of money re-inventing assets from the ground up for every triple A game.

It exists already. UE5 is integrated with Quixel MegaScans. Quixel is a company Epic acquired that does photogrammetry i.e. scans of real objects to film-quality assets. Like everything UE you can use it for free. You only pay once you have >$1M of revenue.

I think this idiot is saying artists should work for free so game publishers can make more money in the same way that thousands (millions?) of devs donate their time to make VCs richer by working on open source projects. No thanks. Need to eat. If you want to use my assets so you can make money selling your game then you can pay me.
