I'm getting really tired of seeing games with poor visual design and having it defended by people saying "you can't say it's bad it's an aesthetic design and it's beautiful!" 400,000 games with really low res textures isn't a "homage to the oldschool days" it's "this takes a lot less work!"

Now, I'm not saying these games with unimpressive sprites 'n' stuff are bad games, not even a little. I am saying that what the design choice was when they decided each pixel on screen would be 4 times bigger than needed, it was because it was cheaper. And there's nothing wrong with that, but trying to push it as "artistic" is just so full of itself.

I'm also not saying that these lowres games are bad artistically, look at starbound, that game is very pretty, but it uses smaller resolution everything.
