But I can feel both sides.
For example my favourite all time PC game is Heroes of Might and Magic (2 and 3). There is a wonderful "inspired-by" version called PalmHeroes, and then some open source projects (freeheroes and others).
And then I won't mind paying for the latest version UbiSoft released for iPad's - and it seems that version was just the DOS version emulated on the iPad (okay, maybe not, but felt that way).
But I was satisfied nonetheless. Playing heroes on the iPad is great.
Ah well, I don't really have saying in such matters - maybe movies/books can help a bit in this direction.
.....
Now one thing that is possibly worrying - is how current games are going to be emulated in the future. It used to be that next-gen games were able to play previous games (PC, console) or emulate them, but PS3/Xbox360 are already hard to emulate on PC (especially PS3) - wondering with even newer consoles...
And then that's even minor, what's more worrying if the game relies on external assets/services (fully online games) - then nothing could be done really....
