Different strokes, I suppose. I have never cared for graphics in a game. I don't care today, I didn't care when I was playing Super Mario World as a kid. I care far more about gameplay, tight controls, and later in life I started caring more about good narrative. The best looking game in the world wouldn't keep my attention if the controls felt like garbage, or if the gameplay was just plain boring.

I care about graphics in games (although mostly due to art direction rather than just "realism"). And yet I still agree with you and think the other guy is bonkers. 2D games can be awesome, 3D games can be awesome.
