Because the damn game is good, that’s why.
It’s been out forever so no bugs. It’s passed the test of time so it’s entertaining and has interesting decisions to make. There are mods and user-created scenarios. Who the hell cares what it looks like? Jesus, people.
And yes, I realize that there is a substantial cohort of those who play games primarily to (1) gaze at graphics (2) get a consumer’s sense of satisfaction knowing that the graphics card is pushing billions of operations per second.
Remember that video of that attractive lady walking around the streets of New York City for a couple of hours with a camera following her (minding her own damn business) and it was just disgusting man after disgusting man trying to hit on her and making vulgar remarks? There were only one or two of them who tried to make a halfway competent pass at her and stopped after she didn’t respond.
The scene from The Wiz from inside Emerald City gets me every time. It screams 70s with every fiber of its being.
