Is endlessly tinkering with one franchise, free from visual constraints and engaging directly with the player's imagination the patrician way of doing things? After all, Dwarf Fortress will never grow old.
Why don't more devs attempt it?
he's also rather poor, and doesn't do anything besides just working on the game.
if a disaster were to happen he would be shit out of luck, there are not a lot of people willing to live like he does.

What disaster exactly?
He sure is dedicated to Dorf Fort, like he has been working on it since 2002, nearing or already 14 years developing it.

Because it's not something easily achievable. Even if you dedicate yourself totally to your game and work on it everyday and release free content all the time doesn't suddenly mean everyone is going to donate money/give you money.

It will if there's a comparable product.

*no comparable product*

What?

Only if there is a niche that actually wants said specific game. Just because you try to make a good game won't mean people will actually come.
And a result is a boring shitty game with no depth
