New games require gigabytes of storage and good GPU, so you need to have a good PC/laptop to be able to play them.
…or a PS5
Not really, even if you have a good enough hardware you still are going back to old games. This is because of 2 things:
Habits - it’s easier to play card game you already know and played thousands of times when in the background there is a podcast you want to somehow remember
Let’s call it “child rejection” - no matter how hard history you had, the most important things you remember are the good ones (not matter how “cheap” they were) and this is how your brain is working.

years ago there was nothing in the shop, maybe you don’t know anyone who was not afraid of inflation, poor salary and so on … but you, you were a child, you did not had as many responsibilities as you have now.
It’s easier to continue than start over again - that’s a really a natural thing. Sometimes it may be a problem, but with a good motivation/perspective it’s not really a bad thing.
it is a survival bias. those old games often spends a lot of resources to develop and have a solid game design.
The ideas never fade out.
