Educating others is hard work too. Most edutainment stuff was lazy, poorly designed shovelware. Usually a flash card program with some extra graphics and sounds. Some, on the other hand were excellent. I remember being fascinated with a lot of the games back in the 90s. Gazillionaire, Oregon Trail, Amazon Trail, Africa Trail, Simcity, Carmen Sandiego, and all the Learning Company games were amazingly educational and entertaining. They just weren't profitable.
