Biased toward older games too. Even on PC things are shifting toward more online based experiences, often without any sort of local server included.

Same here. Recently I saw a dvd for sale of a game I was once interested in for really cheap (it was Need for Speed released in 2015). I was interested until I saw the text on the dvd "the game requires a permanent Internet connection to play". Well, what if I want to play it in 20 years after it has been long forgotten by everyone else? Nope. It's not going to work. That's why I'd rather stick to games I can actually own rather than rent briefly.
Folks will be using gameplay video and AI to reconstruct games in 5 years. Could send a 1 hr video through an ML model and all the game assets could come out the other side.
Sure it will, with cracked binary off torrent...
Offline support for Diablo 3 took 10 years and that’s a game from a major company. Not every game is going to get the same treatment before their servers go away.
