I think there have been more games that list faster CPU than 2500K as minimum, and yet my 2500K has been able to power stable 60fps in all of them except Mafia 3.
The thing is, consoles still have AMD jaguars from like 2009 and as long as the games are made for these consoles, 2500K will keep trucking (especially overclocked).
That said, I am also looking at Ryzen because 5 years on single CPU is giving me an upgrade itch :)
