God I hope not. Art is not some linear progression forwards towards some ideal state.

It’s a valid aesthetic. It might just be a game that’s not for you if you can’t play it because of it.

Why move past anything when tons of people appreciate and want more of this?

What if you just didn’t play the games you didn’t like?

I hate hearing that Devs are getting screwed, once again. I hope that they unionize.
