I work in software, so I get it. However I don't think it's graphics. There's a lot of bugs to do with other things. I probably don't hang out in the same game forums as you but a lot of complaints about unfinished games are about bugs or just incompleteness. Also, organisational challenges as well. I enjoyed FF15 but that game felt disjointed and when we look into why, it's obvious why it was a nightmare.

I think you have a good point that games can have unrealistic expectations now and there's only so much time and money.

I think the thing is that putting out an incomplete game at full price with microtransactions now feels like a slap in the face from the consumer point of view.
