I'm sure some of what I have read is just how people are online, but I have never seen a remake of anything getting more love than the original. They are criticized to hell and back, and the criticism is usually pretty warranted too.

Are remakes just cursed?

I think a big thing is.... a game being remade generally means the original versions will never be re-released again in the future. And if that remake makes big changes to the game it basically kills the original experience. Really what we need are remakes that include the original versions as bonus.
