they need a rerelease to generate FOTM hype to dictate what they should spend their time playing to keep up with the current buzz
you need to understand that they only "play" video games for the social value they provide by being able to tell their friends and acquaintances they're keeping up with current thing the same way they treat every other form of media
there's no social value to be derived from going back to play for instance the original RE4 because its 20 years old and none of their normalfag friends are going to care
the remake provides lots of social value by being able to show you're keeping up with current thing and you can fuel conversation going by parroting talking points you heard from eceleb streams and videos about how the remake is so improved upon the original even though you never played the original and the faggot you're parroting probably didn't either
in between CURRENT THING releases they graze on multiplayer garbage like fortnite, cod, gta, lol, whatever hero shooter is in vogue this year, et cetera where you can just run half a dozen dopamine treadmills with all the skinner box shit to tide you over
that multiplayer sloppa is the only thing they will typically clock more than 20-30 hours in, replaying a singleplayer game after the FOTM period or accumulating hundreds or even thousands of hours in a single game is unimaginable to them
you can already see that on this board with retarded zoomers flabbergasted when people are posting their steam hours
