I wouldn't necessarily call sandbox features replayability, it's more like extensibility. Football has replayabiliry, D&D doesn't. I think the distinction is important because you can have both together.

You mean popular, or with a relatively large online community. Otherwise it's not a debatable matter (see Gez's Latin phrase above). Your percentages could be reduced to a number of people regularly using the game, but not to how much fun it is. This accounts to any people added by extra features, but also to a large degree to portability and setup ease in regard to how current systems work. Only a lunatic would reduce how fun a game to this factor. I mean, you're saying this and you hardly have anything to do with the classic games yourself, nowadays, whereas I take at least half of the fun from using the game without a source port (or in an equivalent way). That's why you spoke of "would" and I just say "is". After all, you're a tech guy who likes tech advancement, hence to you something like source modding will be of particular interest in such a hobby.
