If games had not changed, they would have sunk without a trace. There is an inevitable design creep that increases complexity in titles and necessity drives production towards whatever gameplay model will sell the most to current audiences.
People get used to what game designers provide. They have to do new stuff. Old style games are left in the dust for gaming's very survival. Like evolution, you have to keep running just to stay in the same place.
