Or uh maybe old games are still good and it makes sense to provide an easy way for newer generations to play them? If a record label remasters a Beatles album do we get mad over that? Music doesn't have an expiration date so why should games?

I don't think it costs over 200 million and 5 years of labor to remaster a Beatles album, but I'd believe it if you told me that's what they charge
