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.

So the first one was $25-30 on steam and they brought it back to $50?

I already got the game last year, so I'm not affected by this, but that is incredibly shitty.

This is about consoles.

I don't think it's really that bad, because it enables them to sell the upgrade for $10 without just being a steep discount path for new purchases.

I'd much rather previous owners be able to upgrade for $10 than new buyers be able to get it for $20. Funding a remaster on new customers instead of double dipping is way more fair, and price conscious customers can still likely find used physical copies cheap.
