    In fact, in 2023, five old games—Fortnite, Roblox, League of Legends, Minecraft, and GTA V—accounted for 27% of all playtime in the year.

    This is pretty much what we expected. Games are not like movies where everyone has to watch the latest ones. People play what they like, which is usually dominated by a few highly successful games.

      I don’t know about the others, but Roblox and Minecraft have environments that are designed for infinite replayability. It’s like being amazed that kids are still playing with Lincoln Logs or Legos.
