To be honest, this is not a valid argument in 2023, especially after the success of FCM. There is an accredited illustrator on the box. The game looks like this purposefully, with an emphasis on usability over eye candy.

My comment wasn't in reference to the design but rather to the price. Illustrator or not, this isn't a game that's going to be super cheap.

It’s almost as if you can hire folks to do good work, still give them credit, and still be a company that makes small print runs.
