While I tend to agree with you on pointless cash grab remakes, THPS 1+2 was the perfect formula for a remake in my opinion. It’s a true remake of a 20+ year old game, reasonably priced, and part of a series that was really starved for a good entry. The added mechanics bring a lot to the overall experience, and most importantly, it’s a blast to play.
It got good reviews. I don’t know about any launch issues, but keep in mind I never played it online and I don’t ever buy games day 1, so if they did have issues they were probably worked out by the time I picked it up.

I tried and just couldn’t get into it
No worries, to each their own. I’m just expressing why many people, myself included, are bummed this series is getting shelved again.
I guess I’d just rather a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 6 than a remake for the sake of nostalgia
I thought the remakes were plagued with issues on launch and thus got poor reviews.
