Exactly!

I find myself coming back to cataclysm dark days ahead, caves of qud, dwarf fortress and other "low graphical" games because of the content.

There is a limit on how long beautiful graphics can keep me playing a boring game.

The day I understood that, I started to pickup games based on content, and gosh I am richer than ever!

Nonetheless, I have plenty of games to play when I feel like it.

I'll be honest, I have trouble with low graphic games. But mediumish is fine. I still enjoy plonking monsters on Diablo 2. But I also enjoy Satisfactory and Snow Runner. I can't conceive of a good reason graphics need to go further. Hell, Balder's Gate 3 was beautiful and these guys want us to buy more graphics capacity? Why? It's ridiculous.
