Right, but at the moment there are dozens of old movies being reworked and dozens of old games being reworked and the volume feels like it's growing with new announcements all the time. Over the last 20 years I have only seen a few games remade to maintain compatibility, usually unofficially patched by fans or as open source homages.
I think this is being fueled by movie and game outliers today being able to achieve their first $billion in their first week. That outsized ROI on gaming, like movies, completely changes the calculus on what old stuff is worth today. FAANG will throw billions into making games as soon as their movie pipelines are sorted.
