Most old games you can now get from digitial retailers and the original developers would get a slice of the profit.

I think “most” is an overstatement. Certainly there are a large amount of old PC games available on digital platforms, but there are quite a lot that have never been republished, and most consoles are quite limited in their backwards compatibility, only supporting one or two previous generations.
Sony and Nintendo probably have the best track records for backwards compatibility, and even then the PS3 only supports PS1, the PS4 doesn’t support any older platforms, and Nintendo consoles only support one previous generation at a time.
