Nice call with Zelda: OoT.. totally forgot that N64 fell in that era too.
I would safely say that 96-03 was the golden era of video games. That era was where we saw the biggest experimentation and advances in gaming (Anachronox... Fallout... again, Deus Ex), the advent of 3d allowed these guys who had big dreams to finally make big, crazy, complex games. Fast forward 10 years, and we have big, overdeveloped, oversimplified games. Money watered it down.

I agree mostly. But we also have experianced a bit of a Renaissance regarding indie gaming. With steam making it easy to get games to market we get stuff like Minecraft, Terriara, Don't Starve etc. I am excited as hell about Starbound. Little indie group that sold 1million in preorders in about a week for their game.
Regarding the OP, they make them because they make money. And that as always is the name of the game. World of Tanks makes absolute shitloads of money.
