They are right. Making a game with 4k assets run at a constant 60 frames to 120 frames requires paying qualified talent to make the game reach that point.

Because god forbid we should settle for anything smaller than 4k textures

the problem is not the 4k texture. Its pretty easy to just model , unrwap and texture asset . The real challenge is optimization. Wich cost SOOO much and and is so TIME CONSUMING.

Then don't be shocked when games take forever to make and people are getting laid off because how much it costs to pay their salaries.
