This is why indie devs are the gamers savior. The thought of rushing art is absurd and only usually leads to bad outcomes. If it’s only done for the $$$, it becomes evident pretty quick. Looking at you EA :/

Sometimes I wonder if big studios are even capable of creating truly good games. Might be that they realize the end result will be mediocre anyways so they may as well put in less effort for quick cash.

I trust a studio like SuperGiant to take as long as they need to create a masterpiece but I simply don't believe EA could do the same with all the time in the world.
