Because they've been shit

People are also frugal. Why spend $60 a pop for new games when older ones are on sale for 20-90% off?
That's me pretty much. I wait years to buy a game most of the time.
Humble bundles were crazy too back in the day.
Plus the older games run great with high fps, resolution and graphics settings. Something that is particularly expensive to achieve with a younger game.
Especially since modern devs don't even know the definition of "optimized".
Yes, if you wait, you actually get the best experience. You probably have a machine at least spec'd for a 5 year old game. And they would have released all the patches and updates.
Only reason to play a new game is if it has online multiplayer base
New games are now $70 for the inflation that totally isn't happening (but will when the Man of Orange gets in office).
i just got hitman blood money for a dollar on gog. A DOLLAR.
Anyone who pays 60$ is also probably retarded as almost any game is 10-20% off on a storefront or two on release these days.
Companies bank on you to be lazy and only use Steam directly, so they make sure it always has the worst deals and lowest discounts.
The more you know 💫
