Well, my brother is 3 years younger than me, and we liked the same games as kids, but I stopped caring at some point (around the early 2000's), while he kept going. It could've been the other way around, so I don't see why the older brother can't be more into games than the younger one.

True, but these were some of the things that drove me away from gaming, and AFAIK are still very common.

I'm pretty sure on side of that there has always been games with cartoonish look, or has it disapeared ?
Sure, and those are usually the ones that can make me mildly interested in newer games, but not enough to justify the purchase of a modern console or gaming PC.
I also greatly dislike how everything is temporary these days... Consoles don't last, everything is a download and relies on companies providing the services you need in order to play the games you "own" (downloads, servers, DRM, etc.).
This year I had my first experience with Steam, because of Sonic Mania. Being the classic Sonic fan that I am, I couldn't miss the opportunity of playing the genuine sequel to Sonic & Knuckles, so I had to play by the modern rules. The game was cool and all, but the modern aspects of the experience really put me off, like not having a physical copy of the game (meaning I have to rely on Steam not closing down if I want to own the game forever) and those obnoxious achievements notifications.
