Children no longer do arithmetic: they use a pocket calculator.
Mental arithmetic competitions used to be popular, not so any more.

That's fantastic!  No wonder Indians are so good at math, engineering, and the hard sciences.

when 3x3 tic tac toe died, people iinvented 4x4 and 5x5

same with chess. even if it died(it probably will not) there will be variants and 4 player ones.

Someone must have invented those. Most just ignored the game!

More than 2-player games are an entirely different thing to 2 player games (for clarity, 2 teams counts as two players -  I mean 3 or more independent teams or players). The possibility of effective alliances makes them not a pure competition.  They are however much more accurate models for most of the real world.
