It was because they couldn't afford to do a new Oddworld game. A remake sells on nostalgia, yes, but a brand new modern Oddworld game, with the right marketing, would sell, too. As Manco said they'd probably much rather be making new games with new ideas but they're being realistic about what they can afford to do. Hell, they could only afford to remake Oddysee because of Stranger HD and all of those art archives they had from the originals - saving them a few million in assets.
