"It's not about fangames, flash videos, or webcomics anymore."
basically; fangames are declining right now (giving space to independent gaming, which is now also tending to 3D), flash videos are much better with drawn art and webcomics... are better off drawn too.
Sprites (pixelarts)are an aging form of art generally speaking, because they are assets from old videogames, or try to mimic them. Of course there are still games that use them to full extent, and pixelart will never stop existing, butthe decline is still visible.
