Are HD Remasters Harming the Industry?

Ryan from Awesome Games writes: 'If, like me, you grew up gaming in the 90s, then some of the releases of the last 4-5 years have probably been a strange mixture of nostalgia and disappointment; I’m talking of course about the growing number of HD remasters out there. Having grown up with the advent of Sony’s first foray into the world of consoles, the PS1, and later the globally successful PS2, I’ve seen a lot of my beloved childhood titles given the shiny HD treatment. These remasters, however, continue to split opinions in the industry. Some are hailed as a rose-tinted look back into the golden age of gaming, and others are exposed as quick cash cows churned out on the cheap.'
