I kinda disagree with your choice of the phrase "poor graphics". This is kinda like say that Minecraft graphics are poor. The truth is, these games utilize exactly the graphics they use for a reason. DF is a throwback to Roguelike games and Minecraft sorta became the defacto standard for voxel construction. Now maybe we could agree that these visually abstracted styles are no everyone's cup of tea. The beauty of this tradeoff is that it allows a small development team (or developer) to focus on gameplay without sinking significant time into making things look good and perform well.

That's true. I actually agree, the wording could have been better.
