Why add back problems caused by the physical limitations of optical cameras FFS?
Lens flare? We'll just digitally add it back in.
Chromatic aberration? Add it to make it look like you're looking though a cheap lens.
Vignette, check.
Urgh. I'm supposed to be there literally in the game, experiencing things through my own eyes.
My eyes are not cameras. Well they are but not like that.
I think introducing imperfections can in some cases enhance immersion. Our eyes do function like cameras, and have their limitations, but we don't notice them so much. So, I think these "flaws" in games can make them more convincing in a way. I guess it's a personal preference, I like it, but I see why it can be annoying.
I'm still using my eyes!
But I have... Special eyes!
