Can we just… not get remasters and remakes anymore? I’d rather just have the OG games re-released digitally as-is, and let AAA companies explore new IPs or allow them to be creative in the universe of already-existing IPs.

I’d like to have HD versions of a number of older 2D games that I enjoy re-released.
Honestly, I’d like to have HD versions of some newer games that were originally done with low-resolution graphics, like Binding of Isaac and Caves of Qud. Nothing wrong with low-resolution graphics – I think that it enables shifting resources to developing gameplay, and that that’s often a good tradeoff – but those games did well, and I’d be willing to pay for flashier graphics.
If you look at Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, it’s gone from ASCII to graphics to significantly-prettier tilesets. Dwarf Fortress did something similar. I think that that shows that there’s demand for it.
I appreciate that not everyone wants that, but I would.
