your a fucking idiot Einhanderkiller.
Thats a stupid as saying i dont see why a fps needs different weapons or, i dont see why RTS needs different maps.

Eye candy is what PC gaming is about, its a key factor, not the only key factor but it makes things better, if you dont want good graphics cool abilitys.. (wikkid ass fatalities and gore)
go play chess, or maybe dungeons and dragons.
