> Ron you really should not be bashing your oldest most hard core fans.

I don't read anything Ron said as "bashing". He explains why he is not interested in making pixel art games. He is also promising you this is the best possible Monkey Island game he can make, one he is proud of.

He's playing the victim and calling them haters.

It's a legitimate criticism about the art style. No one is "hating"

Unless we're at a point where saying anything negative is "hating"

CTRL+F of "hate" and "hating" gives zero results in that page. This is what Ron actually says about some fans:

> "It's ironic that the people who don't want me to make the game I want to make are some of the hard core Monkey Island fans. And that is what makes me sad about all the comments."

And that's it. He's not "bashing" all fans, not even some fans. He's just explaining his vision and what his goal is for this Monkey Island game, and also expressing disappointment that some fans don't want him to make the game he wants.

I think his points are solid. Monkey Island I & II weren't retrogames, and so it makes sense he won't try to turn this Monkey Island into a retrogame either.

That's it. No "hate". No "hating". No "bashing".
