This is pretty stupid. When an artist creates something it is never intended to be universally enjoyed by all living creatures. Catering to the whims of every potential subscriber is how you alienate the real fans of your work. That is what turns art into muted gray globs of shyte. Do you really think that the solution to solving the Coke v. Pepsi debate is to simply mix the two together? Everquest was great because it was fucking hard! They designed encounters with the literal intent that they could never be conquered. The masochists that enjoyed the pain of five hour corpse runs at midnight on a schoolnight are the ones still here. This is the same reason this project chooses to replicate that piece of art instead of reimagining it.
The willingness for people to cooperate is directly proportionate to the difficulty level of the task. When you allow someone to alter your vision to bring it in line with their own you are no longer making art. Guess you just plan to make money selling turd burgers to morons so you can buy someone else's art for your mansion wall?
I like a grand array of completely different art styles and many of them are fusions and alterations of other styles but why would you ever want to destroy something you didn't create just because it doesn't speak to you? If you don't like it just turn the page until you find something you do like.
(Did you really just read that crap? Oh man, and now you're going to quote it and reply like it wasn't a pile of bullshit..)
You win.
