Worse still is the "pixel art" that... rotates and scales pixels!! It was very common a few years ago. It's such a weird sort of retro kitsch that doesn't bother to try to understand the original medium. Like NES graphics were Minecraft but 2D. I'm glad the idea is coming into the zeitgeist that true pixel-based video game art was drawn for the CRT medium, not for digital nearest-neighbor upscaling.
