Notice how Sound Design isnt even mentioned on the meme. That's how far down that is in everyone's minds.

But it should because we've been suffering for over a decade of flat non surround or abysmal volume mixing. Dialog that is just too quiet while everything else is loud. But I guess as long as we have separate volume sliders in game that'll fix it. If only every game came with em.

Also we've been pushing graphics all the time but Sound has basically tanked since the invention of the Sound Blaster AWE64 or something. What's a sound blaster? Well kids we used to buy sound Cards for our computers much like you do GPU cards. That's how much sound tech has stagnated. We had 5/7.1 setups in the late 90s had games with EAX support now everything is just whatever, play sound.wav. I guess Dolby Atmos is a thing but it's a thing with a subscription fee.

TLDR: what about sound

Proper spatial / binaural audio in games is a game changer for me and it's wild that I have to buy something like DTS Sound Unbound (and before that, X-Fi sound card with CMSS3D) just to kind of "emulate" it in games. This is tech they figured out in the 90s.
