Why are indies obsessed with pixel art?

[Zachshock]

Like it should have stayed with the NES / SNES and gameboy. Modern indie games use it all the time when we have better technology to make better games ( I'm not expecting visual masterpieces but I do expect better out of indies to not use ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pixel art ) Also how can ANYONE like pixel art it looks AWFUL?! Like I would rather play a game with " bad graphics " than a game with pixel art.

Create a 3D model in blender (or rip one off somewhere)
Create a sprite sheet with microsoft paint
Then ask this question again

Why are you obsessed with the choice of art direction of videogames?

It looks awful though and there are real indie devs who would never stoop so low to use ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pixel art.

Reread comment, do the steps

Oh look, it's the "no TRUE Scotsman" "argument".

Fun fact, you don't have to buy these things.

It's almost like people are allowed to like different things and we don't all have to share your opinion.

If you don't like then don't buy them.

Pixel art tends to hold up better over time.
THis is due to the highly stylized nature of pixel art.
3d models, especially ones that go for 'realism' will look dated AF after 1-3 years.

I love pixel art. I very much prefer that art style over most "realistic" art styles.

But as has been said in your previous threads about pixel art, roguelikes and such things you don't like: You don't have to buy them, people who like them will buy and play them. Yes, people who are not you like such games.

But they are everywhere and almost no indie game makes anything unique anymore.All the indies look the same because they all use pixel art.

Bruh I'd much rather a game look like a ps1 or gamecube game than ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pixel art.

Also people complain about AAA making the same games, but when indies make the same old roguelikes, minecraft clones and pixel art games it's apparently ok.

What indies are you looking at? Far most of the indies I've seen don't use pixel art.

I don't troll idiot. Idk why people think that just because I hate 90% of indies.

There is a thing called "choices", you can decide to make use of it or complain about stuff that are perfectly ignorable.

I'm not going into a supermarket and tell the cashier how in the world they can sell apples when there are oranges.

Different people want different things and different people have different tastes.
