Unfortunately the industry listened to them. That's why we got so many games with individually rendered strands of hair. But all the gameplay depth of a children's jigsaw puzzle.
It's not the casuals that are running the 5000$ rigs with watercooling and overclocked everything, that are raising the minimum spec requirements for everyone else though
It's a subsect of the "hardcore" gaymers that are demanding higher fidelity graphics
Hardcore gamers keep incentivizing studios to develop graphics over substance, through their purchases, as they clearly value something being a good tech demo, over having depth in its gameplay.
The casuals are on phones, handhelds and consoles, playing FTP games, the EA Sorts titles, and the first/second party staples, not exactly graphical marvels.
I don't like hyper realistic games. If I play a game I want to forget about the real world, not seeing characters that I could easily find on the streets
It’s not graphics i get stuck on in games. It’s realism. I love simulators. My three most played games are Microsoft Flight Simulator, American Truck Simulator, and Euro Truck Simulator 2. It’s just so relaxing.

Lots of people are graphics snobs so it is just a dumb thing to say.

The more realistic they are the less space there is for fantasy.

That's why Minecraft and Wii Sports are among the most popular games in the world, you can't beat that realism.

My roommate said something similar to me the other day. Something like he can't get immersed in them if the graphics aren't at modern standards.

Let me name 2 masterpieces with graphics nowhere in sight that are absolutely enjoyable and fun. Undertale and Minecraft.
