Realistic graphics age poorly over time. Explains why we continue to see games like TLOU get released. Once the game starts to show its age it starts to have its negative effects. This is why Nintendo games are known to be time less. Because its all about the art and gameplay, not how realistic a gun can look, because in 5 to 10 years, that gun doesnt look as so good anymore as better visuals come out improving on that same gun model.

Nobody really thinks TLOU aged badly. It's going to get released again because it's less risky selling the same game again than developing something new and history proves people will pay 1000x on the same game before opening their wallets to something new, that's how every big IP is surviving. This is not fault of people who like realistic graphics, but of people who happen to be allergic to pay full price in new franchises.

GTA 5 used to be realistic and cutting edge when released and people still paying and playing it just fine. What says if the game is still appealing is how the game itself plays and how they were designed, that's a reason why Skyrim still getting additions even in 2022. 

Companies are exploiting the consumers more than ever before. TLOU still looks good today however ND see the opportunity that they can improve upon it to resell it again. Because they know that they will have the zombie crowds swarm out to get it. Just like every time Apple release a new product that isn't that much different than the last product they made, yet people come out in droves. Because of the consumers not having control, its now giving companies more reason to exploit your wallets while trying to offer you less cake while they try added more icing to cover themselves for the extra expense.
