Nostalgia crush

Sensation you experience when you return to game you played long ago but developers removed or made all old features obsolete
Best example of Nostalgia crush can be found in game pixel gun 3D , developers removed many old iconic maps and because of power creep with new guns old ones became obsolete , therefore they crushed nostalgia of returning players

nostalgism

A political strategy that runs campaigns and appeals to voters based on an idealized and pleasant image of the past, often adopting policy that emulates that past. This happens when the party or politician has little substance of their own and hides behind nostalgia to cover up something else, like corruption.
JOZEF: Many Slovak politicians espouse a mix of economically left-wing and culturally right-wing beliefs.

FERO: It's because their primary voter demographic is older generations. Those guys grew up during a socialist economy and aren't so culturally progressive. They miss those days.

DEŽO: That's called nostalgism.
