We're at that stage of video game culture where the only people who have played the originals are old now, or are the equivalent of weird movie buffs who have film projectors and beta tapes in their garages. The majority of modern gamers play a new game half awake and then watch a youtuber explain the rest. They pick up venerable old series half way through their lifespan and call that good. The people making the games are twisted goblins who hate the medium. Only a few horny japanese people are still doing anything with a pulse. It's rough out there, man.
