Nope. I play a mix of old and new, and I probably always will.
It’s just like books, just because the are lifetimes worth of old books doesn’t mean I should ignore the new books. I read a mix of classics and recent releases, both usually through the library.
I’ve committed to PC gaming full-time now.
Same, though we also have a Switch because it’s just so good for party games. We play couch co-op with our kids and friends, and will probably get the next Switch as well.
95% of my gaming is on the PC, whether my Steam Deck or desktop PC. I play some recent games (currently playing Hogwarts Legacy), as well as plenty of old games (I just played Firewatch from 2016), and I recently bought games from the 90s.
I don’t really care when a game was released, as long as it’s good. I’ll even occasionally play new releases (bought Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom at launch), though I usually wait until they’ve finished patching the game (1-2 years if I’m really excited). I add new games to my wishlist all the time and check back periodically until I feel like it’s ready.
So yeah, I play games from all eras.

And it’s not like all the old books are interesting, same with games. Just because there is a lot doesn’t mean it’s all interesting, or maybe it’s not what I’m currently interested in.
