That article suffers from a strong case of survivorship bias. Yes, old games die, they go away and are long forgotten - only very few „never die“.
The same is true for new ones. Since the barrier to create games is way lower than in the past, more games are created today leading to even more games dying and fading away.
Newer successful games will be remastered and rebooted for as long as there is a business case for it.
