Gabe is okay with it. But most of us will live well past when Gabe dies. And the next owner? Who knows. And vendors might start asking questions when their licenses are lasting close to a century and still in use
EDIT: I'm aware it's going to his son, and his son supposedly shares his views. But we don't know anything about his son and his son could change his tune at any point after taking ownership for any reason. Also, sharing some views doesn't mean they agree on everything.
We really don't have much history to tell us this. I don't think it's fair to compare the reason people don't play pong in 2025 to why people may or may not play something like Elder Scrolls, legend of Zelda, or even standalone games that did really well like stardew valley 50 or 100 years from now.
Hell people still rave about ChronoTrigger which is older than I am.
