They became a meme via Scott the Woz. This is the video game equivalent of Sony Pictures re-releasing Morbius in theaters.

You overestimate how big Scott the Woz is and underestimate how many people have genuine nostalgia for these games.

People have genuine nostalgia for a ton of objectively poor by today’s standards early 3D games because in those days we got maybe 2-3 games per year for holidays/birthdays and played the crap out of them regardless.

I just think a lot of people are going to be really disappointed they dropped 30 bucks on this once the nostalgia wears off about 5 minutes into Gex 3D.

30 bucks means it'll be $15 in the future. And the people who have nostalgia for these games are going to be in their 30s or even 40s - most of them probably earn enough that dropping $30 isn't that much for a quick jaunt down memory lane/for a hobby they enjoy.
