>People are willing to buy games bcause of the feeling of making a collection
uh, no mate. collectionists are an insignificant minority and you know it. vidya sales are driven by kids/manchildren who want the shiny new thing that all their friends/favourite streamers are playing *right now*. as soon as new slop comes along nobody cares about the old slop, not in any significant way when it comes to sales. that's why decade old games being killed is largely seen as a non issue by consoomers and a sensible thing to do by the publishers.
point being, even if some people are dissuaded by a sticker on a 9.5 year old game that says "game will stop working [in 6 months]", that won't have any significant impact on the overall sales, hence no incentive for the publisher to let the game live.
