Yet people did. And still do. People read some books over and over again. People watch some movies over and over again. The same music, over and over again. And some people, the same games, over and over again.
There aren't any surprises to it, just a good story, style, music, and humor. Some people like to watch certain movies over and over. I like going back to Rubacava and feeling like an ace detective when I remember Tuesday is Kitty Hat Day.

Exactly. Well, adolescents, really: People who are insulted by being considered childish because they still think they are and they don't want to be. They're trying to transition into the new role of adulthood and confusing them with their former role of child makes them insecure because they think they're failing.
They're also embarrassed by the less self-conscious actions of older people, who are less self-conscious precisely because nobody is going to mistake a 50-year-old for a child.
It seems work on ResidualVM is coming along, so Grim Fandango may be playable on my laptop - might finally get to finish it.
I still play Full Throttle frequently, maybe as often as once a year. I've played through The Dig around 3 or 4 times too.
