This sounds like a case of using excel as a db. Holding a hammer by it's head a declaring it unfit for normal people to paint with.

I also work in games and everyone I know uses Perforce for the reasons mentioned above

Have you considered that maybe they just have a different use case than you?

What I mean is, no one ever said that git was meant to hold bulk assets and resources directly, and so doing so is painting with a hammer, not an insufficient pain brush.

Yes of course they have a different use case. That is just another way to say the same thing.
