I'm just replaying the brilliant game Dishonored 2, and I noticed that the in-game pictures (painted pictures mounted on some of the walls in buildings) soon start repeating themselves, as the game doesn't contain sufficient individual images to make each picture unique. This happens with just about every game that has more than a few wall-mounted pictures, and it makes me wonder why games companies don't just add a few post-copyright real world images to make every picture in a game unique. I mean, I'm playing Dishonored 2 on the PS4, from a Blu-ray disc, so I'd imagine that the disc could hold a few more images to make every in-game picture unique.
Still, I suppose you could rationalise the in-game repeating pictures as being down to the limited number of pictures that were for sale at that time and place in the world. Much more annoying, of course, is that we'll probably never get any more Dishonored games, as AAA immersive sims are very rare, due to them costing so much to make, and them traditionally selling badly compared to other game genres.
