A lot of people do, just don't admit to it.
Some people are even often insulted for playing a fun game just because it looks bad.

gameplay. graphics are nice but i'd rather play an awesome game that looks ok than a mediocre game that looks amazing.
that being said, i loving love crysis, and a 15 year old game called mechwarrior 2

For example, FortressCraft is stuff.

fortresscraft looks like stuff because the graphics do not mesh together; it has an extremely blocky, simple world (like minecraft) but then it has a ton of shaders and high quality water that isn't blocky in the least.
if the people/person making fortresscraft took minecraft gameplay ideas and put it into a more unique format (ie actually DIGGING, red faction / celestial impact style, not removing 1m^3 blocks of dirt) it'd be a lot more interesting than minecraft, i'd say.

Or at least put in the slight effort to smooth out edges on blocks and such if the developer is trying to go for a "higher quality" approach.

Hand me 8 bullets.
Edit: What's the point of graphics if the game is a broken mish-mash.

Simply put, graphics won't make a 5 minute game awesome. Yoou need content and gameplay.
