Gameplay is important to nerds, but it's not usually going to make a game company a lot of money. The top sellers have been games like Deer Hunter and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It's like movies, many of the best ones are only loved and understood by critics.
And even if people do notice the quality of your ugly game in the long run, it will probably be a pirated copy running on some emulator.:(
I'd like to write my Ultimate Strategy Game, but two things are stoppping me: Lack of glitzy graphics and sounds (or any graphics and sound at all), and the AI programming.
