While I’m not a fan of nostalgia-mining or the constant remastering and remaking of games

... but in the same sentence has nothing but good things to say about constant tinkering and overhauling:

companies are still keeping some popular older games accessible by relaunching them with better graphics, fine-tuned gameplay, and even added scenes

Dude sounds like he's just speaking out of two sides of his mouth.

By the way, this is also why they are against game preservation. Artificially making the $thing unavailable is a sure fire way to sell it again 'remade'.

It's weird that they mention games getting rereleased over and over. But that's really the popular games. The less popular games, like the unpopular shows and movies, just get abandoned. Hell, with companies closing or splitting, they might not even know who owns a lot of them.

Or don't remake it and instead release it together with a subpar emulator. Nintendo style
