Most people mock pixel art games for being a piece of ****. It’s not a profitable genre at all. And soon enough, it will implode. The novelty of playing games like Super Meat boy or shovel knight isn’t going to last forever. At some point, people will lose interest and just go back to playing the same type of games like they use to. Games like Cuphead still stand a chance since they have actually good 2D visuals, but pixel art games will slowly wither away.
