I remember a time people hated multiplatform development as much as remasters now. It takes time away from the gameplay development etc. Nowadays a lot of people prefer multiplatform games as they have deeper pockets and can spend more on production than exclusives. (with the exception of a few flagship titles)
So now exclusives follow suit by becoming cross generational titles to draw more income, which can be used to finance new and more extravagant exclusives.
As long as there is a market for them, they'll keep coming. So if you don't want them, don't buy them.
I won't be buying GOW3, Gears collection, Uncharted collection, Rare replay, or even FF7. Not because I dislike remasters, because I'm already severely backlogged in current gen games, no time to play old games again.
I was happy to play TR definitive edition, Diablo 3 and GTA5 on ps4, since I had not played them before. Flower and Journey were fun to play again too, didn't take too much time and were free upgrades. The only game I double dipped in this gen was Tlou, that game was simply great and I had a lot of fun with photo mode.
Anyway let new users buy remasters and help fund new exclusives. I see nothing wrong with that.
