They flooded the market with these cookie cutter games that don't look any different now than what they did 10 years ago.

360 came out almost 16 years ago. No one looks back on games from 2005 and goes "oooh retro!!" but in 2001, people looked at 16 year old games and said that. there's just nothing vintage or old looking about games made in the last 15 years because the technology has plateaued for the most part
Limited Run Games is already doing great for years catering to that same market with physical releases. Maybe not COD but even then, one day all releases will be digital. Any physical gaming item will become a commodity. That day will not be tomorrow but collecting is always playing the long game. Check out what an original non-classics factory sealed Halo fetches on eBay these days. You'll be surprised. Or a brand new original print Luigi's Mansion. These used to be easily obtainable mass-produced games. You would think their prices would remain stagnant given that but it only keeps rising.
