I just got 2 background for my profile cause they looked good on that small preview that the platform provides, but when you actually equip it's unusable, so pixelated. i'm sure i can't get a refund but, let's us see the background/frames on the profile or make it bigger so we can get something we will be happy with, please. That's why so many people have the same background and all profiles look the same.

All profiles do not look the same, brah. And for those that do, it's either because people don't care about their profiles or just happen to like the stuff they have on it. So get over yourself, I have yet to see anything on the point shop that is as badly pixilated as you claim without purposefully being so. So maybe you should update your profile with one of these backgrounds so we can judge for ourselves.

Profile backgrounds are created by game developers. Kindly ask them why they were so pixelated.

It's not like i'm trying to offend no one or say that the backgrounds are ♥♥♥♥ or something like that, but it would be nice to see if they are full HD before getting them, cause there's no refund. I know that some are pixalated cause i have backgrounds that look super sharp and the animations are super smooth and some that look that i'm watching a 480p youtube video. I'm using a 27" full HD monitor so i can definitely tell the difference, i find hard to believe that i'm the only one but okay.

I feel like OP just bought that forest one. Live wallpaper.

Your looks good tho, but the ones i'm taking about are the animated ones. The still ones are pretty good resolution most of the time
