The answer to threads question is very easy. It's much easier to create games with great graphics and decent gameplayer than games with good gameplay and good artstyle.
Take WoW for example. There are loads of games that look 10 times better but when you actually start to play them you realize that they lack something, that even if the graphics looks amazing they lack the personalization, they look cold.
Take my work as a web programmer for example. Few days ago I've got appreciated for implementing a shitty chart system that looks good and it only took me a few hours. I've got no appreciation whatsoever for the dozens of hours I've spent developing some very smart tools which didn't had any shiny graphics.
Take women for example. You would never marry the pretiest girl in the highschool but you would sure bone her 2-3 times.
It's that easy. A+ games that you dream at takes more than 3 years to be created. The games you give 10/10 scores but only gets 5/10 if you lower the graphics aren't A+ at all.
