On the point of remasters. We started getting them around mid last gen (and they were titles of the previous gen). For most developers and studios, this was a newly discovered money maker. So going into this gen, it's now a thing that exists from the start (and of games released last gen). So it's not some new problem per se. If you have a problem with remasters today, you should have had a problem with them last gen. Generally, they were positively received.
However, it's not static; we use to get collections and now we get single remastered games. Granted that the remasters released today were late last-gen titles so it makes sense to be released on their own as they are still relatively new. For older games getting remasters, we perhaps have a case of this getting steered into the most cash grabbing sense. We saw this with DLC over the years, including last gen.
