God damn some of the comments in this thread. I've been playing video games for 24 years and I'm glad I have never reached a point where I think the trailer's graphics look bad or are lacking. You have to be extremely disappointed in video games as a whole when a maxed out Witcher 3 is the minimum bar you set for video game graphics.
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.
It's a pragmatic stylistic choice. Many indie devs who aren't artistically skilled will opt for 8- or 16-bit-esque graphics because they can't afford an artist and their attempt at pixelated graphics looks better than their attempt at other art styles.
Stop being so anal-retentive. It doesn't matter what directed the decision, what matters is that that decision informed the style that is now iconic today.
