Not sure what you are talking about. Nerdy Games have existed all the time, and they usually not very successful because they are so nerdy. In the last years, we also had a number of tech-nerdy games, but none of them could be called a hit. They probably make their game, but as the audience is naturally small, their ceiling for success is limited. And I don't see this changing in the future. It's probably the opposite, as the younger generation seems to become less nerdy, and more distanced from low-level topics and tech.
