It's not that James Rolfe isn't interested in modern video games, he simply isn't passionate or interested in video games since he became an adult, period.
The entire AVGN persona is a complete ruse.
James doesn't care about retro videogames as a hobby or passion either despite making a living that he pretends he does for two decades.
He wrote an autobiography a few years back and he barely mentioned video games or his YT success at all. He was also literally a special needs kid he was so much of a sperg.
He's much more interested in old horror films and filmmaking (though he's lazy, narrow and mostly incompetent when it comes to that too). He also is more passionate about death metal and plays bass in a very cringe videogame-themed cover band called Rex Viper.
Mike Matei who used to appear in some of the oldest AVGN videos is the actual passionate video game nerd. But he has no charisma and is a quick tempered manchild.
Never watched him. Next bullshit claim.
Don't bother.
He peaked over a decade ago.
Then was revealed as a lazy sperg who hasn't been interested in vidya since the N64.
"The guy who makes videos about old video games isn't interested in new games" isn't really that shocking.

It's almost like he's playing a character.
