Maybe I'm just a sucker for liking remakes of old games because I can just go play the original version easily (he knows how to google), but it seems quite easy to hold the opinions of appreciating the artistry in old media and finding it fascinating to see it told from a different perspective

I personally think we can say that yeah we do get a lot of remakes but also a remake itself is a fascinating lense in which to view old art and some can be really cool. The capitalism part of this is annoying but there are ways to side step that by being patient or also knowing how to Google.
