Nobody is questioning that at all. What we were questioning was his last post.

He was trying to justify not making better art using wrong reasons. The only reason he actually had was "I don't want to invest time into finding someone good with art and the market I want to target doesn't care for it either", but didn't want to say that.

This new post isn't better, he push even further, pushing with even bolder claims, $150000-180000 for an artist? Sure... At least he confirm how he works and that explains why the art is so bad.

This guy is clearly a genius in game design and development, it's sad that it's spend alone like that micromanaging the art, but at the end of the day, what matters is that he does what he likes and that's fine.

What's not fine is him that art isn't worth it, that it would means everything will go down, etc... while it's just that he don't care about it and neither does his market.
