As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

The move to "HD" when the PS3/360 were dominant was the death knell of hundreds of mid-sized studios, and gaming never really recovered from it.
