is pixelart a good idea

hi im ariyan and working in a small team on a platformer multiplayer game . the project was idea of my own and since im very comfortable with pixelart i was going to start making characters in the same style . but today someone joined the project and said why are we making it in pixels . it seemed stupid at first , but got me thinking is it really a good idea to make a multiplayer action game in pixel art ? is it a art style that you can look at for year ?

by the way here are the first...
