Here's my kicker then; I'm playing along on my new hardware, and the game runs just fine, better, since I have new hardware. Then I update my drivers and my game quits functioning. I can't switch to my "old" hardware, since my old hardware is what's having the problem, with the new drivers. If in the course of updating something, you break something else that has been working, you fix it. Reference my post about AMD and the dual core hot fix for games that were having problems with them. Games that were released prior to the introduction of the technology, and yet, AMD jumped to fix that problem. Why? Because their customer base wanted it.
I have games that I expect will never run again, at least, not on this rig. No problem there. But if I'm running a game on this rig, and a driver update breaks it, then I'd expect to get that fixed.
