I feel like the market is 30% remakes or remasters right now.

I mean, if you’re gen z or gen alpha, there’s a good fucking chance you’ve never been legitimately able to purchase the OG version of a game if it was a PC game because even the supposed original on Steam and other store fronts was upgraded to a remastered or remade version replacing it.

90% of gamers have played a game

This has as much meaning as the number of people who have watched a movie remake or listed to a cover song. Good media is good media and sometimes an updated version is a benefit even though sometimes they are cash grabs.
