I think it's a matter of game progression.
People now days are becoming more a more used to games that make you feel like a god amongst men.
Twitch shooters that favor internet connection, hosting, and people with quick reactions.
MMOs that have stemmed into casual play and are little more than PG anymore. (WoW)
MOBAs that have no end game and progression is on a per match basis.
RPGs where's you're virtually invulnerable at the start and become god by the end.
Point is, no one plays games like Elite and Eve because there's not sense of instant gratification, such as leveling up 5 times in a match, unlocking multiple new items (though they're little more than a re-skin of previous items), and constant rewards, trophies, and medals for a mediocre job.
There's not attention span anymore that would allow most of these people to play a game that's almost like having a job.
Hard work and dedication typically pays off, Knowledge and intuition allowing you to better yourself, training and practice putting you amongst the elite.
Most gamers these days don't want to play a game that takes time, they want a game where they can play god for a little while and be happy they're naturally good at something. That's the problem with society these days... Everyone wants the knowledge and skills to do what they love, but don't want to put forth the effort to gain the knowledge or learn the skills.
Everyone wants instant gratification these days.
