The explanation is that in the 90s things like Call of Duty franchising or WoW addictiveness feedback loops or being nickeled and dimed by excessive micro transactions didn't really exist yet, so publishers had to take risks on weird and innovative stuff, especially on disc based systems because printing discs is dirt cheap compared to cartridge manufacturing.
