"Ninety percent of everything is crap." So, we look around us at the handful of excellent stuff that still survives and compare it to the schlock that surrounds us today and conclude "They just don't make them like they used to!" But new games do seem to suffere from having an excess availability of computing resources. Old games had to focus on game play and be disciplined about what they included. Newer games may not have anymore programmers than older games, but they often have a huge leap in art resources. This does not necessarily enhance the game play and can be detrimental to the experience when misused.
