That sounds appealing, but it would be something else. There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of polished fun games to play. Dwarf Fortress is different. It's raw. The wretched interface and myriad bugs are part of the whole experience. In a lot of ways, it's like punk rock. Yeah, the musicians could keep better time, and be in tune, but then it would be a different kind of music. The lunacy of one guy writing so much depth and detail has it's own magic that you can't really get anywhere else. Maybe it is indeed a waste. I think i've spent more for that game than any other, save maybe WoW because of all the expansions.
