real answer i think the "rotting" of previously well-regarded games is actually driven by degrading pleasure capacity in the median gamer. if we try to imagine what kinds of experiences the gamer of the future will soon be unable to derive any joy from, i expect that any story driven game in which a woman has a speaking role outside of dating mechanics will be dustbinned as unrealistic and grating.
None because I am apparently immune to the "age poorly" thing because I still like Goldeneye, old JRPGs, Harvest Moon 64, and the Ps1 Resident Evils which are all considered to have aged poorly.

No one wants to hear this:
Disco elysium and all the other walking simulators.
walking simulators already had their "aged poorly" moment, and their "comeback thanks to an example with really good writing" moment, and now they're a niche genre that occasionally get something notable like The Looker.

Regarding Disco Elysium.
