Well, I agree in part with your view, that bringing the game onto Steam and therefor only having absolute HQ renders in, is definitely a good move.
But as we know from some discussions with Ocean himself, he is very much a perfectionist. His e.g. Saga on how he searches for and aquires music for his games says everything! There are things in gamedesign where he should learn that less can be more at times.Yes, quality has to be kept, but there are parts of a game, where less attention on details does have no adverse effect, just quickeing the design process.
Besides, the old versions of "SG" and "WIAB" have quite good renders already, not the quality grade as of now, but compared with many other erotic games they were already far up on the totem pole.
