I agree. We’re not the first ones to point it out, but theres a strong argument to be made for graphical style over graphical fidelity. Working to achieve a particular stylised choice tends to give a visual medium greater longevity.

There’s a reason why people remember details about Jurassic Park over something like Avatar; or Star Fox over the latest Call of Duty.

Technology has made some things look better over the years, but the things that really get remembered visually are the style choices.

Just because one game takes up a quarter of your hard drive doesn’t make it more impressive than a sub 1 GB game.

“Text message”? What are we - barbarians?

Seriously though, using text messages these days means that inevitably you will encounter the green vs blue issue. Android and Apple phones don’t play nice with their text messages. Gods help you if you ever get into a group text message thread with multiple Android and Apple phones. Anytime an Apple user reacts to a message it’s sent as a separate text message, “John 🤣 to ‘Check out this meme’”

At least with WhatsApp it puts everyone in the same texting playground.
