He mentions this in the earlier post. He tried that once before with a game, where he put quite a bit of effort into making the graphics better, but people didn't really notice the improvement, they still complained about the graphics. From this, he concludes that what people want isn't just a short upgrade, it's a vast improvement in quality, and he cannot afford to spend time on that at the moment. I think that's a fair tradeoff that he can make from the numbers, and his experience in the industry gives his decision a lot of weight.
