Well the way things develop, it's not really the fault of developers, more at the hands of consumers.
20 years ago people were happy with 2d graphics without fluid animations as long as they had tons of statistics and numbers. The gamers today aka kiddies who are the majority will destroy a game with bad graphics, and if it's too complicated they will destroy it as well. Destroy here meaning spam crap about it in internet channels. Media is just a bit more powerful now and a voice who has others agreeing to it can cause havoc.
Oh how I miss those games with a lot of numbers and 200-300 page manuals you had to read to at least 50% to even be able to play the game...
