>But even then, and this may just be anecdotal, but retro games don't seem to be as "cool" in the general zeitgeist as they were in the mid 2010s.
I'd argue the opposite. The longer we go into the future, the more people realize how hollow modern pop culture is and how exploitive and terrible modern games are becoming, and are turning to the past that had actual fucking gameplay to it. And gen 4-6 games arent so old that theyre off-putting to a modern audience, yet have enough quality put into them to be endlessly replayable. Most modern games are half assed garbage that dont even look better than shit made over 10 years ago, so why not just play the older ones that are better?
