If it's been mastered onto digital video i.e. pretty much everything on a 5" disc then D65 is where it should be, no matter how it was shot or what era it's from. Video games I've no idea about. The warm, yellow and dim thing is a complaint that goes around and around and around and if people don't like it, fine, but once you let your eyes adjust over time - yes, that's a thing - you realise just how it frees up the image. Other colour temps tend to add way too much blue which just corrupts everything, skin tones in particular. Your eyes will adjust or indeed be used to that much blue in the same way it'd adjust to D65, true, but anything other than that simply isn't accurate to how content is mastered for home video.
