"You might like it, but many people don't."
Speak for yourself, not for many people. Personally, I like it when pixel art approaches realism. It's true art. Absolute Cinema
A simple example from this post: the original post has around 30 voteup, while the comment criticizing it has around 15–18 voteup. In another post where I explained my opinion in more detail, the amount of support and criticism was also fairly balanced. So I think it’s fair to say that many people don’t like this.
