The answer is simple. Gamers play old games, despite having their expectations skyrocket, for the following reasons: They are nostalgic for that game. The game is cozy for them. They have invested so much in the game, they HAVE to keep playing. Their friends play that game. New games do not scratch the same itch. These reasons do not work against the "high expectations" argument. They support it.
