Quite a few folks do try to cover up the shoulders of giants with dropcloth and pretend they're not there.
Mostly I just smile and note that anyone claiming to be an artistic purist in any way is full of it. (And I'm no longer that annoying kid who thought that certain forms of artistic expression were intrinsically invalid.)
I find it deeply amusing that some of the niche RPGs, such as Etrian Odyssey, and quite a few bigger names, such as Shin Megami Tensei, drew a boatload of inspiration from the Wizardry series, released in the US starting in 1981. Even Final freaking Fantasy drew massive inspiration from Wizardry, though of course there were plenty of other sources.
Which you'll then record and upload to Youtube, I take it?
