Thing is, if the game isn't attractive to look at then it's going to have to rely on its gameplay.
For the most part, gameplay sucks today compared to even 10 years ago. So if I want to buy a game, why wouldn't I buy a game from 10 years ago?
I guess the answer turns out to be... Almost every game that I bought in the last 5 years is from 10 years ago!
So it's really simple, they don't need to make games that appeal to me at all. They can go on making completely unappealing games with bad gameplay and annoying story and ugly graphics, and I'll continue to not buy them, win win.

Think about the gigachad meme. The neckbeards didn't complain about the overly masculine man, they made him their King! "Oh great gigachad! Though we are woefully weak and fat and ugly and have neckbeards, we shall make you our king, so that we might strive towards the excellence you have modeled for us!"
