It's a pointless inconvenience anyway - in 1999 all I did was adjust gamma settings to get it to look the way it does today on P99. Similarly, when they implemented the "fix" here, the only "immersive" aspect about it was the inconvenience of having to change gamma settings to get it to look the way it did before. It would've been a pointless detriment to quality of life, almost like: "Well, in 1999 most people had shitty connections, so let's create artificial lag for everyone that connects to the servers!"

Disagree. All gamma did during classic was make light sources markedly better, and everyone had a light source. It didn't allow you to see anything that you couldn't see imo. Gamma correcting black is still black, just a lighter shade. If you cant see the structure of the texture, you cant see it period. Gamma didn't function as you said as far as I recall.

It was only post 2002-2003+ era when gamma was a factor, almost like the game was a completely new client build which it probably was.
