Truth be told, I have all those old games too, played them and loved them..
The big difference between those games and now is the online play aspect..
In the early 90s online was a very new thing.. Most of those games didn't even have online options! ( I know Pacific Air War 1942 did, played it in H2H mode via comports once or twice)
Thus those games HAD TO HAVE GOOD OFFLINE play because there really was no other valid way to play those games..
Thus the focus on the OFFLINE play against AI has shifted to ONLINE play against real people
That is where the focus is now (the reality of it all)
Would it be nice to have both? Sure it would! And in a perfect world that would be the case.
But here in the real world where there is limited time and money to do things the bulk of the time and money will be spent on the new focus (aka ONLINE play)
