Part nostalgia, part "we're desperate for a new elder scrolls experience"

Significant part: there were fewer customers in the entire market back then

Definitely. I got Oblivion in April of 2006 about a month after the game came out. Xbox 360 had just come out months prior in November 2005. Morrowind was not a mainstream hit. Oblivion also not being a mainstream game yet. Mainstream for the series was Skyrim with the arrow in the knee and fus roh dah viral stuff

Steam started supported 3rd party games in I believe 2005. Peak concurrent users on Steam was probably in the low hundreds of thousands compared to today's ~40 million. PS3 would launch end of 2006 and Oblivion wouldn't show up on it until some time after launch

Gamers have spoken: they don't want new content, just upcycle old games.

This is my fear. It's already bad enough. AAA has been yeah for years now.

Nintendo remastered all Super Mario games from the NES only a single generation after their release, on the SNES.

I wonder if you people kept making a fuss and complaining about people buying the games.

Turns out yes, taking a good gameplay experience and remastering the graphics is appealing and worth doing. Who knew!

Old games made better is nice, but they didnt do enough to justify the price this time around, and consumers gonna consume blindly...

I never have a console or pc on the 7th generation, i only got i low end notebook able to run few games in 2012, by this time Skyrim was already there.

I tried Oblivion few years ago and barrely played more than three hours, the original is dated beyond modding help, now i put few hours on the remaster and is a considerable improvement, not only graphically, but on gameplay.

Even so, got i little bored after while, i gave some fun on the arena and exploration fells nice, but the problems on this game are beyond graphics and gameplay, it still have many elements dated like some systems, exploration on dungeons are very repetitive and some designs show they ages.

I install some mods to mitigate few problems and still gonna finish it, but i won't will play it as much as Skyrim and Morrowind.
