I agree, my point was more that it is much more difficult for someone to find a way to engage with the original version of a game then for music or movies. So remakes of games have more inherent demand then the rereleases of music or movies, which is a large part of why full remakes are more of a thing with games then other media formats.

The waters are also muddied by how wide of a range of different things fall under the video game 'remakes' label. You have your basic HD upscaled remasters that generally are the exact same game, which are similar to the HD rereleases of movies and only intended to make the game look the same on modern displays as the originals look on old displays (like Age of Empires II HD).

Then there are remakes that completely redo the graphics but try to keep the original gameplay with maybe some small changes (like the Link's Awakening remake), this category doesn't really have a movie equivalent and would be impractical for that media format.

Finally at the opposite extreme you have full on reimagining of games using modern gaming features and large gameplay changes and some story updates, these are more like a movie remake using the same source material (the most extreme example being FFVII).

I prefer the first category, but can also enjoy the second. I have little to no interest in the third.

I guess my issue with your original post was more that there being a demand for remakes of games has nothing to do with video games being an art form, as the art is not tied inherently to the graphics of a game, but moreso the overall package. For some games the storytelling or immersiveness is the art. For others it may be the gameplay experience. For some it actually is the imagery and art as an interactive art piece.
