...and use my increasingly small amount of leisure time actually playing.

You and I approached this same problem in different ways. Since my leisure time 8is* getting increasingly rare, I don't want to spend the money on big-time expensive games. I'll play something simple and entertaining while I kill a little time.

I do play Civilization V, but nothing more complicated than that, technologically speaking.

I don't buy all the big name games anymore but there are some that I follow development on and get excited about. TW Rome 2 looks like it will be awesome and BF4 looks good as well. I don't want to wait a couple of years for a port or futz around until I kinda get them working.

I'm sure that there are a lot of people that don't get it. Enthusiasts are just like that, but they drove this industry for years and from my perspective it seems to be floundering. Many things seem to be floundering these days.
