There's a limited number of developers and development funds for games in the world. Allocating ANY to this remaster/reboot/rerelease bullshit that is PLAUGING the industry right now, means fewer new games are being made.

The remake is great. People love it. You're a curmudgeon.

Yes, I'm sure people love playing the game they already owned and loved the first time. My issue is their idiotic willingness to keep shelling out money for something they've already played, Incentivizing the industry to NOT MAKE NEW GAMES.

It's not curmudgeonly to hate the fact that AAA games have been in this remake rut for years now with fuck all interesting games coming out. Indie is the only space with anything Interesting at all happening.
