What is placeholder text even supposed to mean? Why would they need anything more sophisticated than Lorem Ipsum?
Same thing with “placeholder concept art”. If it’s used early in the production cycle it will at the very least implicitly shape the team’s perception, and thereby further development of the game.
Worrying.
Problem is we know that that kind of stuff heavily affects the end product. It’s one reason why music in movies has gotten so generic. They use filler pieces and then later on they try to make their music match the filler pieces. It’s a pretty well talked about problem and I’m surprised these game studios don’t see it coming for them.

It’s just a rough draft of a script to see if it’s going to work before putting in real writing time.
