Because yeah, in some way lots of media end up becoming &quot;products of their time&quot; and won't necessarily translate well into a modern context, and in a lots of ways works that are &quot;products of their time&quot; have that context of age to help establish their creative identity. That seems to be a shortcoming of the 2014 Thief game, in that it lacks any sense of identity by trying to obfuscate a preexisting context of identity. It plays into standard genre conventions in a tame and idealized manner, essentially becoming an archetypal genre piece as a means of providing a seemingly modern contextual vehicle for the gameplay, but as a result the game as a work lost so much of its personality and charisma.
