In a way this is the fault of advertising in the US. The memories these chuds have of some better age for gaming were never real, they want their franchises to bring them what no video game can but what so much media now gets advertised as: a restoration of their hopeful youth where they could still be taken by complete surprise in a pleasant way.
I think the internet being a thing and gaming no longer being a thing you did hanging out irl with irl friends and instead dome online with Randoms had led to chuds thinking the same thing I do but I think it about them, they think.it about us:
"Games used to be better when I didn't know THEY also like games. "
I think a big part of the nostalgia is associating gaming with having fun with your pals and your pals didn't dunk on your world view like a stranger will and they go with that. In the end I think anyone with video game nostalgia really deep down just miss when playing video games involved also being with friends irl
