The article talks about factors like type of game and advancements in technology, but doesn't mention what is surely a big factor - the age of their audience.
My personal intuition is that 10 to 20 years is the sweet spot because those people who played the original as a teenager will now be in their 20s and 30s, where they have disposable income and plenty of desire to spend it on reliving those happy childhood memories.
If you wait too long for a remake, the market will shrink again because those original players will be more likely to have family, other commitments, and less time to game.
Personally less time to game sadly doesn't mean less willingness to buy games, if my games libraries are any indication...
True facts lol
