Because devs realized simulating wires and pulleys doesn’t sell like photorealistic anime waifus and battle passes. Also, designing good engineering mechanics that are intuitive and fun is actually hard as hell. Stuff like Besiege and Space Engineers scratched the itch for a while, but most games either go full autismo and scare off casuals, or dumb it down into LEGO sandbox crap. There’s no middle ground that both sells and satisfies the tinker brain.

there was a sort of sequel to incredible machine called contraptions or something in mid-2010s and it sucked and was buggy and garbage and i think that was the final nail in coffin.

Well that can't be right, it must exist. Where's the engineering game about howls moving Castle or weatherlight?

Lack of well made new titles. Most devs just don't have the raw autism of Wube and Minecraft mods like GTNH don't show up on sales charts to begin with.

Man I really wanna get good at games like Factorio or Satisfactory but don't wanna put on the work to do so. Shit's like Chess to me.
