GTA5 is "classic gaming" these days. Thing's like a decade old, isn't it? Anything that has existed for 20% of gaming's history is pretty old.
The better question is why isn't there much new stuff? Back in the day, a new product meant people were going to be buying it. But now it's all trash, and people are falling back on old standbys like TF2, CSGO, GTA5, Minecraft and whatnot.
Games industry went to this moonshot model of chasing after the big hits that earn 1 billion dollars to offset the 500 million dollar development & advertising cost. Problem is if you are making games this big you can't take risks or do anything that's not pushing you toward mass market low-IQ normies

Vice City is certainly "classic" if they're remaking/remastering it.
