Its partially lack of marketing. You have to have the time to be at least somewhat keyed into the gaming community to even know what exists and is good.

For example I don't have a lot of time to play, so I am ideally looking for something like 15-30 minute increments. All the mass produced things marketed on tv or whatever are that type of game. God forbid I find a game and then realize it has some punishing save system.
