- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I feel like this is a good litmus test. If you have to double the price of the original, your remake/remaster is coming too early.
How about "if your game received a backwards compatibility patch that makes it look better for the current generation, your remaster is coming in too early"
I noticed the announcement trailer doesn’t even show any footage of the original, which makes it the only remaster trailer I think I’ve ever seen that doesn’t do a split screen or other comparison at some point.
And the first thing they mention is new Spatial Audio and haptic triggers. It’s like selling a new car and bragging about the cup holders first.
The triggers are why I'm paying to upgrade. They make a big difference to the feel of combat.
