That's quite a sweeping generalization you've made: "Only the newer gamers and the people who enjoy cheating or crack the code would like it." Actually, I've exchanged messages with many veteran gamers who have been playing it for 3 months now and who still enjoy it. There are a lot of subtleties to it that people who play it for a week or two and set it aside never see. Plus, multiplayer games are a lot of fun. Personally, there are some popular games that I don't play. Quake, for example, just doesn't interest me. Mechwarrior does. Both are first-person, 3D rendered games, and are probably more alike than dissimilar. I also like HOMM2, MOO, X-COM, and others. I find it hard to get all the way to the end of a game of Civ 2, however, because tedium sets in around the year 1800. The point I'm trying to make is that most gamers enjoy several types of games and several levels of complexity in the games they play. The crusty grognard may very well enjoy Dukematches, for example. Don't be so hasty to put down a game.
