A connection to the past is an important part of the human condition. I think it speaks highly that people that spend so much time using these wonderful tools value the history behind them so much.
It really makes you think about the stereotype of geeks and IT people being so obsessed with the future.
I want to be sitting here snickering about how EA is reaping what it sowed, but really competition is the only thing that produces a better game. This not only restricts the options that people are going to have (admittedly in a market that is not the largest to start with), but it limits the drive to produce a game that really is competitive and fresh, compared to simply the next thing off the production line.
