Couple of things here are worth unpacking a bit more:
The tortured logic L&P employs to justify this self-congratulatory exercise is actually, and somewhat ironically, a masturbatory excess and not much more.
I believe you are correct in using the word "when" rather than if. However, he doesn't "realize he needs 50% more renders" - he just makes a bunch more renders and then decides they are needed because, well, he wanted them, and they're here, and obviously he wouldn't have made them if they weren't needed, cuz that would be mad loco en la cabeza, so the fact that they exist must mean they are needed. So having made them they are now needed. Because no one would invest so much time on things that are not needed.This update grew to 1,000 renders, but what happens when an update grows to 1,200 or 1,500, or 2,000 renders? What happens when L&P anticipates needing 1,000 renders, only to realize that he needs 50% more renders, and months more of work to complete an update?

Uh, breaking news everyone: we're already there. If this update blowing up to more than double its planned render count wasn't enough evidence, the fact that there is something called a "Dylan/Emma" coming up should be all the confirmation we need.At some point the game is going to become a boondoggle.
