When should developers go back and remaster or remake their most popular games?

I think the issue is calling a next gen port a remaster. Yea it is technically a remaster but adding that to the title makes it seem like more then that.

If said game was released as definite or something nobody would be talking rn

No one would be complaining if it was labeled as a director's cut but maybe theres a legit marketing reason to avoid the label
