>>714670090 (OP)Publishers don't want to compete against their own, older products.
The modern AAA industry relies on the planned obsolescency; get hyped for the new product, consoom it ASAP, and then ditch it quickly to start the cycle again.
People still mod the OG DOOM and STALKER, and host CS1.5 servers.
This sort of cultural significance and longevity is literal poison to all big publishers.
