    Well that’s unexpected. I’m beginning to wonder what will eventually happens to games that never get a remaster. Before that was a case of basically every game, but now there are so many remasters/remakes, there might be even less motivation to try and revisit those other old games.

      I think it largely depends on which version was your first experience. For example, I grew up with Crash Bandicoot. The remakes of the original trilogy are great but always felt off. I recently went back and replayed the ps1 version of Crash 2 and decided that it is the definitive version for me going forward.

      Now if we’re talking re-releasing the original games, publishers can charge more for remakes. If a game has a remake I assume the originals will never see the light of day again. Nintendo excluded, they’re a wildcard.
