Description

This is not a regression. Tested in both 4.27.2 and //UE5/Release-5.0 CL20979098

Game View renders Lights with Actor Hidden In Game enabled. Documentation states:
"...the Viewport to display the scene as it would appear in the game." Going to mention that editor-specific elements will not be shown. This has confused some user's who are expecting either the Lighting to be hidden or the documentation to specify lights will be still be rendered.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create or open any project
  2. Place a Point Light in the scene where it's lighting can be visible
  3. Enable Actor Hidden In Game on the Point Light
  4. With the viewport selected press G to enable Game View
  5. Observer where the Point Light was placed

Expected Results:
The Light isn't rendered, or the documentation specifies Game View will render lights.

Actual Results:
The Point Light is rendered.
