The gaming world doesn't really move that much faster now than it ever did btw, in fact I would argue it actually moves a little slower because large communities tend to keep one game alive for a lot longer. I had flavor of the month games as a kid all the time. We just didn't have social media

Don't think I can agree with this. The gaming world absolutely moves way faster than ever, and social media/the information age have a ton to do with it. Think back to when we were kids and you'd only hear about a new game when a monthly magazine wrote about it. Nowadays the whole world knows about new games within seconds of them being announced, if not instantly.

That constant ongoing and addictive conversation has people moving much more rapidly between games - perhaps partly out necessity since games that are worth playing are coming out at a kind of absurd clip. When I was a kid I was perfectly content to sit and replay Ocarina of Time over and over all summer long (and to be fair, part of this is because you have pretty much infinite free time as a kid,) but these days people will move from PUBG to Fortnite in no time at all to keep up with what's hot - what their friends are talking about.
