It's a wonderfully dead technology. Why do they continue to develop it?

I think they continue to develop simply because it was wonderful hardware for the time, nostalgia, and people wanting to justify that purchase they made back in the 80's.

If nothing else, I find this statement about EA to be the most amusing I've heard in a while:

EA's founder, Trip Hawkins, was actually fighting against the poor treatment of programmers that he witnessed elsewhere in the industry. When he launched Electronic Arts in 1982, he envisioned an environment where developers and game designers would be treated like rock stars: promoted in major media, given generous royalties, and allowed to explore wherever their imagination and talent led them.
