Am I the only one who doesn't really care about graphics? (lemm.ee)

As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

It's becoming ever more obvious as graphics improve that it doesn't really matter what the game looks like as long as the game is fun.

Companies better have a damn good reason to spend production resources on high end graphics given how little they matter compared with thematic harmony, creativity and originality.

At this point probably to look like they can compete with other games, which might explain the fact nobody complains indie games seem primitive.
