"The current obsession with nostalgia and remake culture is easy to understand when you realize that it's a symptom of a culture that isn't allowed to imagine a future."

I have no problem with remakes as long as they aren’t just trying to grab some cash from you without any work.

I’ve really enjoyed the Final Fantasy VII remakes or the Planet of the Apes remakes. Yes they aren’t perfect, but it feels like some passion was put into these projects.

As long as we aren’t just getting remakes, I have nothing against it. And sometimes remakes even have more originality than another generic game.
