...Because I don't?

I've made a few games, and played way more. I still don't get the big deal. It's like bitching that a game's power-ups are orange instead of red.

Clearly it is. An it's not bitching. We are talking about the fundamental ability to play these games at all.

I suspect that you, being younger than I am, might not have played precision games on a CRT screen where there was no latency. Someone commented when I mentioned the Pi emulator, that when they played a retro game on the original hardware, they were shocked at how responsive it was. They were designed for that tightness.

FIFA is not going to matter if there's a bit of latency. Something like Crash Bandicoot will.
