    because that’s what the majority of people play.

    the majority of people buy 1-2 games a year and play them all year. COD, sports games, the big popular shooters or whatever is trendy at the moment.

    they are casual fans. they don’t give a shit about stuff like Expedition 33 and would be totally uninterested in a game like that as boring and stupid. these are the same people who only watch marvel movies or hollywood action crap.

    all my friends/family who play games think I’m a gay weirdo for liking non sports, non military, non racing games.

      Its partially lack of marketing. You have to have the time to be at least somewhat keyed into the gaming community to even know what exists and is good.

      For example I don’t have a lot of time to play, so I am ideally looking for something like 15-30 minute increments. All the mass produced things marketed on tv or whatever are that type of game. God forbid I find a game and then realize it has some punishing save system.
