Yeah, I took this thread to mean that "new" games meant 2027 and beyond, not including older games that I just haven't played yet that would be still be new to me. That makes me think about it a bit more but I'd still choose games I've already played pretty easily.
But especially if we're talking new games coming in the future, I'd choose what's already available without hesitation. Except for Nintendo's games and Resident Evil there's not much on the horizon I'm really looking forward to, certainly not when compared to the massive amount of experiences I've enjoyed for the last 4+ decades. There will never be another Bioshock like the original, companies like Konami, Rare and Sega are shells of their former selves, I don't like Naughty Dog's new games (although the new Uncharted rumor gives me a modicum of hope) and God of War has changed for the worse; these are just a few examples of what I mean.
Basically, I look at it as, if all of the past games that I know and love that made me - and kept me - a gamer were suddenly gone and all I could do was experience what's new going forward, that would suck for me.
Regarding other media like movies or, specifically, TV shows, I'm even more steadfast with that choice. In my opinion, I'm convinced we'll never get another show equal to LOST or Breaking Bad in my lifetime and I look at shows that come out for both streaming and network and there just isn't much that's very entertaining to me. Some ok things here and there, but certainly nothing I'd give up rewatching past favorites like Better Call Saul or Burn Notice for.

I actually meant new games for you in my second option. For example, I have never played Majora's Mask, so, if I chose the first option, I could never play MM, because it would be a new game/experience for me. Should I make it clearer in the pool, so that people don't get confused?

Nah, your thread's fine. I think it was just my interpretation that was off.
I'd still choose games I've already played pretty easily though, simply because I've already tried most of what I've ever cared to play and there's still a lot that I want to go back and finish.
