You just reminded me of a comment I saw a dev make when someone posted the same criticism: “Or your sense of imagination has atrophied.” Maybe a bit pithy, maybe a bit sour, but what really resonated with me was the idea: graphics can rob us of that role in the production. I’m sure I’m about to say what’s obvious to many but: I just realized that I’ve lost a sensation that was dear to me as a kid: taking the handful of pixels and the box art and building the graphics in my mind.
