Question for the game modelers/ designers. When modeling an open world do games usually take into consideration the curvature of the earth?
No way lol.

You only do curvature if it's a big selling point of the game. It's so much more annoying to work with and engines are optimized for flat worlds.

Plus the world is really really big so unless you're a flight sim, you'd have to exaggerate the curvature to make it visible.
