Remakes, Remasters, and the ethics of preservation (Gaming)

Eh, who cares? It’s never been about preservation. The original games didn’t go anywhere.

The original developers actually did this, and they specifically didn’t change anything without talking to the person who originally did the work. I’m not sure exactly how deep that goes. But the point is this isn’t 343 coming in and redesigning things in a beloved game they didn’t create. This is the people that made the original deciding how they want to present their own work in 2020.

We can argue the semantics about naming conventions, I guess, if you want.
