While *some* flares might be considered stylish, and vignetting, low contrast and softness are definitely elements that can be used to contribute to the style and mood of your picture, CAs and those crazy flares to be seen in some video games are... idk :D

Yeah, it's rarely done tastefully, I can agree with that. I just think it can be appreciated that devs give you the option to turn off these effects if you're so inclined rather than denouncing post effects all together.

Most things can be great in moderation and in good taste. And if you don't want it, you can turn it off :)

Now, if a game doesn't give you that option, that's a whole other issue lol
