Do you use a custom ROM of some kind or stock Android?
It's rather unlikely, that an update caused these games to be unsupported, rather your device/os are simply deemed "too old" by these games.
No, he's right. Updating the OS sometimes makes software that hasn't updated show up as being "unsupported on your device" specifically due to the APP being too old, not the OS being too old. It's bullshit.
The apps work most of the time, but the Play Store won't let you download/install it. You need to go find the .APK and manually install it.
I can confirm that upgrading to a newer Android version or device made some apps become unsupported and required using Aurora store to spoof an older device to retrieve. Some apps just won't show up anymore on the play store if seen through the newer device.

I think it's the other way around, the games i play are "old" while my OS and system apps are "up to date".
My phone literally won't let me download Doom (1993) of all games because "this app was built for an older version of Android."
I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra, no custom OS changes.
I do see the other way around as well. So the games don't get updated and then don't support newer versions of Android. I see the same with RCT Classic.
I use stock Android.
