I would say its because no one knows what it was about, but then a game would educate us about it! Seriously though, wasn't it mostly trench warfare? Could that be fun?

Most Developers and gamers assume that WWI = only muddy and unmoving western front.

First Person Shooters in a WWI setting wouldn't probably prove popular, due to the somewhat stagnant idea people have of The Great War, However, there still is room for things like Splinter cell/Hitman-esque Stealth based Games.

But it would be ideal to enlighten people about the first world war. What seems to be astonishing is that people seem to know a great deal about the second world war without ever realising that there was a WW1.
