Placeholders and production assets are just random low effort garbage somebody puts together and are just meant for people internally see how things work. No artist lost paycheck or merit.
I dont see any difference in this than when Batman Arkham asylum was released with placeholders. Skyrim had also placeholder textures on the release, so did Halo 2, Fallout new vegas, CoD MW2 and probably hundreds of more. Only difference is that they were done by coders in paint or something instead of generative ai.
Just production assets from what I understand. None of it is in the game proper.
If this is the case then i dont care.
