One of the biggest controversies at the start of all of this was Ubisoft pulling The Crew whilst pushing people to buy The Crew 2. Frankly it’s amazing we haven’t seen that more often with the near identical sequels such as the Madden, FIFA, F1 etc games.
No one’s forcing you to buy a remaster… unless they are because they revoke your right to play the original so it’s your only option.
Remasters and remakes will still happen but companies won’t have as much freedom to yoink a purchased product from your pocket years down the track in the name of some profit strategy.
I still hold Call to Power as the best “Civilisation” game. I started playing the actual Civilisation games from Civ3 onwards and was pretty consistently disappointed because most of the ‘new and exciting features’ had already been in CtP and were often DLC in Civ. Kind of wish a modern CtP would get released.
