Different people want different things out of their games. For instance, one kind of player may have absolutely no use for Awesome but Impractical abilities; they avoid even getting them, they write to the company asking them not to put them in future games, and they deride players who do use them as ignorant newbies. On the other hand, other players go straight for them, and use them as often as possible, just because they like the impressive visual effects and the feel of doing the maximum possible amount of damage. And yet another player will acquire them, but not use them except as a Finishing Move, because it's more dramatic that way.
