Elden Ring is hardly “aged”. Literally dropped DLC in the last 12 months. There are modern Sonic and Pokemon games and they hit a short cycle time.

The “can wait 6 years” is the whole point. They aren’t waiting. They aren’t getting attached enough to bother waiting. That’s literally the whole point of the article. Did you read it?

You don’t need to wait to play games that came out thirty years ago.

Plenty of young people are into retro gaming.
