I'm ambivalent when it comes to remakes of movies or TV shows, but I will always support remakes of video games.

They're a media that was 100% constrained by the technology and the storage format of their time, and there's nothing that's more of a bummer than reading interviews with video game devs talking about things they wanted to put into a particular game but quite literally couldn't either because it wasn't possible with the technology they had at the time or they couldn't fit it onto the disc.

If a remake means they get to make the game according to their original vision for it? Worth it.

Yep! It's fun to enjoy the new gameplay and fanworks and they don't change the story a lot (unless it's FFVIIR which is more compislop but they called it a remake to sell)

Yeah, it's better when they add new stuff, but also, it's a great opportunity to fix issues and just make it more approachable to new players overall.

There's also the fact that a lot of old formats are dying. Sometimes games made for older machines are flat out unplayable on new ones due to technical issues.

Remakes that add extra functions like colorblind modes also do a lot for accessibility.

Yeah, I really enjoy playing old games ported to ROMs, but there is a fair bit of fiddling around involved and it's not the ideal environment to play them, despite many hobbyists putting a fuckton of time and work into them. So whenever there's a remake or even just a refresh, I'm thrilled! And the old game still exists.
