I am currently 20, and I've grown up with games such as System Shock, Freespace 2, Homeworld, Baldur's Gate, Mechwarrior, Falcon 4.0, and so on. It seems to me that now PC gamers are starting to "rediscover" all of these classics, behaviour I hadn't noticed when the games listed above where new. I came to question myself about this after noticing in the past months a rather steep rise in threads asking about old games or any possible sequels to '90s classics.
Now, my question to you is whether this "trend" is new, or if PC gamers have always acted this way towards older games but I wasn't really paying attention. And if this is a new trend, or at least the scale at which this is happening has increased dramatically, what do you believe to be the cause?
