While I agree that some of the reasons are because of industry direction and affordability. I do have to mention also that it could also be because of nostalgia, familiarity, simplicity and people still chipping at their library.

I have been playing Galaga regularly since 1981. Still play it at least once a week.
Older games = more than 2 years old? Then the same goes for readers, movie and TV watchers, etc media consumption most isn't from the current or previous years
if you mean i do spend my time playing nes and snes via emulator, you are right
I'm playing a new old game, because i'm playing the Suikoden Remaster. There for I have beaten the system by simultaniously playing both an 20+ year old game and a brand new game thats a few weeks old.

It’s the Baldur’s Gate saga for me right now, and I’m still in the BG1 campaign.
It is such a great game to play on the couch with a trackball while chilling with the family.
@tonytins 6 years is old now? :< couldnt care less about the competitive/pvp stuff but im playing x4 foundations most of the time currently and some genres dont get that many new entries anyway, like open world action games like gta5. Thats from 2013 and most other titles like mafia 3 or just cause 4 arent much newer either

My most played game in my Steam library is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus which came out in 2013. The newest game in my library is Atelier Sophie DX a rerelease of a 2015 game.
True in my case. All of my favorites either were released before 2020 or originally released before 2020 and I'm playing the re-release.
Only new IP I got excited about after 2020 was Project G.G. and I strongly doubt it'll ever see the light at this point.
