The developers have gone the other way. They are delivering a ton of product that appeals to a shrinking minority of their customer base. Classic mismatch of supply and demand.
Not really. The fastest growing segments are the "outside the norm" gamers. 45+ is actually over a third of gamers now, and women now make up something like 40% of gamers, and that number is growing. Catering to the "core" audience you mentioned is actually catering to the shrinking/stagnating market at this point, and a lot of what people are complaining about with "too far left" complaints is just normal stuff that people who make money off making people angry have told other people to be mad about.
Not a mystery.
