Some people play games for the gameplay, and the ASCII graphics allow them to project their imagination and obtain any fantasy world they want. The rest of the people play Call of Duty and FIFA, and would be hard-pressed to ever leave their comfort zone.

Yeah, I don't think you'd see series like Kruggsmash's lovingly hand-illustrated series if the graphics were better.

In my experience, it's the people playing ASCII games that are more likely to be stuck in their comfort zone.
