Yeah, controls.

RTS: No build queues, no multiple commands.

FPS: Really old ones before the WASD+mouse standard.

But I'm not oblivious to any of this before I replay the game, and might choose not to replay because of it. It's not the game that's gone bad, it's me.

I'll never replay a game not giving a shit about time passing, not bothering to save, or even choosing to start from the beginning the next time I play even if I'd saved the last time. I used to play for the sake of playing. Now I play to win.

That's a hugely different way of playing and you spend much less time in the game that way.
