I only care so far as if they can make it look good, I'd like it to.
My favorite game of all time is Dwarf Fortress. But if someone made the exact same game but with modern 3D graphics, I'd be more likely to play the one that looks nice.
Nobody is making games like that, though. Most modern games have less than half of the depth in mechanics of games I grew up with in the 90's in favor of better graphics and larger worlds. Baldur's Gate 3 is the kind of game I wanna see and it's popularity and why it got so popular show that people want games of the mid to late 90's more than they want modern games that only have great graphics going for them; BG3 takes the same design ideas from back then and just makes it prettier to look at.
I think I may have played Dwarf Fortress at one point. It reminds me a lot of the tycoon games. I had as much fun with those as, say, Minecraft. Literally the same idea but one is 2D, goes to show not everyones focuses on dimensions.
