I think remakes also work out well for consumers. Gaming isn't always about novel experiences. Sometimes you just find a satisfactory loop and want to stay in it. People have enjoyed chess for decades. For video games you can reuse the same gameplay elements and just apply the latest tech each time and people will enjoy it.

Personally I check the steam store regularly and buy new games often but I rarely end up playing them much because I prefer to just jump back in to Skyrim or some other game I have been playing for years.
