I'm not thinking about it at a level as deep as you are, but I think I totally get what you're saying.

I used to play Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag 1 with several other really good players back in 2000 and felt like we could play that all day. We actually did, for over a decade. I'd still be playing it they didn't come out with Tekken 4, 5, 5DR, 6, 6BR, Tag 2, 7 etc.

I eventually fell out of the series because I couldn't afford to buy a PS3, a PSP, and then a PS4, and everyone else moved on to the newer games. I never understood why they had to keep making new ones (other than a cash grab), when classic games like chess or basketball don't have a new version every 3-4 years and people still love playing it.

Also all the anime I have yet to watch would probably take decades. Like right now I'm doing a Naruto marathon, took me several weeks to get to pic related. And gonna watch One Piece next.

Even now, I'm still having fun occasionally playing good old Warcraft III custom games with my girlfriend and friends over LAN, like several hours a week. Maps like Hero sieges and Hero Line Wars we've played hundreds of times, we still enjoy thoroughly.

Everything new is basically just a cash grab.
