The same general idea, with better wording. Not really sure what OP was trying to add. In my experience critics aren't demanding hyperrealism, and are the first to praise unique art styles.
At this point almost everyone is aware that unique art styles age way way better than hyper-realism.
The original phrasing is " I want shorter games with worse graphics, made by people paid more to work less and I'm not kidding".

"See what happens when you pay workers more to make a game with worse graphics? You get this." Those people didn't understand the original meme. I see this post as an edited version to exasperatedly respond to those people with.
