Development costs don't have to rise. l would gladly play games with pixel graphics or even ps2/3 graphics. Art direction >>> Graphical fidelity.

Right. The two games I play the most are Minecraft and Factorio. Both not amazing graphically but they’re fun.

But executives don't look at fun. They want something flashy to catch attention in an ad, neither Minecraft nor Factorio look like they imagine a fun game should. They don't have outstanding visuals for their generation not audio, so really they don't see the appeal. They want cutting edge for the sake of being cutting edge. They want cool because, to them, being cool sells more than being fun.
