I think the same thing could be said about Flappy Bird. That game were also considered a joke but gained a following. The fact that the developer pulled it out of the market oddly enough skyrocketed it's popularity. I also remember the Beavis & Butthead game becoming pupular, even though it was a joke game too.

Flappy Bird was not a joke as such, it was a proper game that just happened to be simple but very hard. Somehow Gears hit a sweet spot that was 'hard' but also 'addictive'.
