Dude, I understand your point and I agree. But the real culprits are not the developers, but those who finance them. People accept these ramakes and continue paying. And the longer it takes to evolve the story, the more the developers win. Why do you think these remakes are becoming more and more common?
I believe that making games....
Let me say something first, that utopia of donating money to someone to make art, do what they like (in this case games), is in the past, today it is purely business (with rare exceptions), you pay, the developer posts an update (theoretically).
Returning to the subject, making games today is like any other commercial segment. You set up your business (in this case, games), but keep an eye on your neighbor's business, and if your neighbor created something that made more money and with less costs (in this case, remakes), you will definitely want to do the same.
I personally stopped supporting this type of content a long time ago.
Developers always start well, with regular updates, but after gaining the trust of supporters, illnesses begin, family problems, employment problems...
Remake is just what's hot right now.
