Why is good pixel art so expensive?

Why would you bother with that intricate art when you know people will pay for shit like this?

>>321319328
I don't know about hand placed, anon. Pretty sure they use a a plain old tablet and pen with pixel brush. Not nearly as hard as the stuff you see in other games.

I'd like good pixel art too, but not everyone can do it. The art isn't great, but its not trash either and gets the job done. I don't think every game dev should have to be or hire a top tier pixel artist just to make a game they want to make. But it would've been nice to have good art and good everything else.

but that game only costs like $5 when games like OP's pic costed around $50-$60

I'd like to see you do better

I'm going to let you re-read your post and think about what you just said.

Maybe you'll be smart enough to understand how retarded that statement you just made was.

>You can't criticize if you can't do better
What's the purpose of this board, then? We're not fucking game designers that's for shure

For the same reason good 2D animation is expensive: it demands extreme hardwork, this is why we see much more retarded anime than Ghibli level productions. I'm hyped for Cuphead, though
