Games appeal to escapists and escapists aren't interested in relatable characters or the realism it would take to give fantastical themes any meaningful gravitas. They don't like to feel ways about things, they don't ever want to be frustrated or sad or uncomfortable. They want to be immersed in a world where they will never feel these things ever again. You can't really blame them, the world is enormously unpleasant now compared to the days when most great fiction was written.
