... Yeah, wishfull thinking. If it ain't pretty, it can't compete. 
Happens more and more often too; Stardock has a little controversy on their hands as well at the moment:

You speak from my heart. I won't buy a game just for graphics improvements, unless it's "predecessor" is clearly several generations older. Gaming is much more "mental" to me than "optical". Pretty, yes, a game can be, but it needn't. First of all it needs to be detailed, accurate (physically, historically etc), well modeled and executed, and offer many option/decisions to explore and test historical and alternative outcomes.
