Let the kids suffer the growing pains
I know this post is most likely a joke, but I've seen some people having similar arguments for real, about how younger generations won't appreciate something because they didn't experience worse etc...
The thing is, you didn't suffer either on these games when you were a kid, they looked fine to you because you didn't know any better, and older generations were most likely thinking the exact same thing about you, being like "you would enjoy mortal kombat more if you grew up with pong", it's a never ending cycle lol.
The thing that I do think is a shame, however, something that hurts younger generation tastes, is not visuals but the genre of games. So many young gamers nowaday grow up with online games and will only be interested in only one game, completely ignoring the rest and never being interested in various genres or single player games at all. I think that's the biggest issue. You see it with kids who instead of getting different games, they use all their birthday money on micro transactions for the same game, it really makes me sad.
