1. They also remastered the very first Last Of Us 1 year after release, so...moot and the team that did The Last Of Us 2 remaster is literally a bunch of new hires.
2. Where did you get "instead of" ? A brand new game was cancelled to remaster a game in 1 year by a team of less then 100? Soooooo I don't think any of that happened and I don't think you know what you are talking about.
So no sir, GTA VI did not get cancelled by Rockstar so another entirely different fucking team GROVE STREET GAMES could make a remaster.
The teams that do those remasters are different fucking teams, your point would make more sense if you knew what you were talking about.
The first game broke many sales records for them ,why the fuck would they not do a sequel?
You got Jak 1,2 and 3. Sly 1, 2 and 3. Killzone 1,2 and 3. Uncharted 1,2,3 and 4. Infamous 1,2 and 3 I mean....you telling me you didn't know they made sequels out of successful games? lol
Don't buy it then lol
You saw remasters of Sly series, you saw remasters of Jak and Daxter, you saw remasters of Ratchet, Killzone etc in the past.
None of that shit stopped us from getting Infamous and then Ghost Of Tsushima or Uncharted then The Last Of Us or Spiderman 1 and 2 or Horizon Zero Dawn.
The act of remastering is done by so few developers, to ask 25 to 100 people to not spend 6 months to a year remastering, all in this ignorant , uneducated, childish attempt to get a um "new game" instead, makes zero sense. The game would would take 6 to 7 years, take 1000 to 2000 people and likely need...I don't know, FUCKING MONEY to fund it....
Development on Neil Druckmann's new title is reportedly

According to the rumors, the core development team over at Naughty Dog are working on an entirely new project.

Did you not think that maybe...some other team that actually makes the new game is just doing that right now? They would need new hires, the remasters help test those new hires, they would need more money....the remasters provide them more funding, the remasters also bring in more new consumers, they also help gauge interest in the established IP to even provide them data if a market even exist for a sequel in the future.
Thats is like saying you are in Walmart in tears cause you see Titanic will be in 4K and you are upset cause "day remastered dat film iNsTeAd of Da NeWz".
So I don't now, are you fucking sure the 15 people that did the restoration for Titanic magically was going to make Titanic 2 in 6 months for 100K? You really, really fucking sure that this is a "instead of" situation or do you cry when you see reruns thinking the actors are just out here acting the whole episode again when they could be making the new season "instead of" lol
This argument about remasters makes so little sense, most out that they have no clue about how that even works, the moment they say "instead of" lol
Looking at GTA VI, shit Rockstar must be masters and Insomniac on crack, they made that game in what, less then 2 years using your fucking 3rd grade logic lol
So basically do not have new hires make remasters.
don't make more money with remasters to fund new games.
don't make sequels
lol ok bud. Good luck with that, you'll just be in here crying about all the new IP they make anyway with some ready copy and paste to cry about it or something lol
