they redid all the assetes (it’s not just a simple upscale), has all the orginal DLC. Not just Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, but also all the smaller home dlc too.

they’re also not spammed the second you leave the tutorial. and are a part of the world now, and NPCs have rumors discussing them

They also gifted the game to everyone working on Skyblivion instead of sending them a C&D like Nintendo did to the people who worked on AM2R

    I don’t think some games costing $80 makes $50 for a 20 yr old game any less atrocious. Plus, they added new asdons just to increase that more. So even calling it a $50 game is incorrect. Bethesda/Microsoft is still a shit company. Nothing has changed.

    All I’m seeing is how easily people get used to being scammed because there are so many youtubers and influencers play the role of manufacturing consent by calling it a “good deal”.

    And do not bring in developers getting paid enough. The issue is never the price for something this high selling. It’s always the hierarchy and wealth distribution in the company. Even if the game cost $100 those people aren’t gonna see much of it. A $20 game when so many people (in the hundreds of thousands or even millions) buy it can still pay the developers enough if they were actually paid their share.

    Yeah but you can get the original Oblivion for $15 or $5 on sale, and other than graphics (that make most people’s machines chug) you’re not really missing out on much.
