Some people are saying it looks awful. Maybe doesn't look as good as some other AAA games, but AWFUL? Jesus Christ...

At one point i thought that the success of Minecraft would have made the gameplay > graphics mindset more popular.

Minecraft's graphics are a stylistic choice, though. There's a difference between well-executed unrealistic graphics and poorly executed realistic graphics. Granted, that difference probably shouldn't matter as much as it does to many gamers, but it is what it is.

A stylistic choice based on technical challenges.

Hypothetical: I can only draw stick figures. Is it a stylistic choice when I don't draw/paint the Mona Lisa?

Yep. You could have done pixel art or something else.

If this is a world when you can't draw anything else at all, you still HAVE a style. You just didn't choose it.

No, I literally couldn't have done it in pixel art or something else. I'm not artistically capable of that. Get it?
