Even a totally replayable game, like a multi-player FPS, will be superseded by a new version and most players will migrate to that one. If it's unplayable a year from now, let alone ten years from now, they will most likely neither know nor care, because it's been replaced by newer and better games. The lifespan of the game is shorter than the lifespan of the device (PC, console, whatever) it's used on.
