Hilarious. The original game already looked great, but hey, you can upgrade for only $10!

Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they're all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.

The latest step to curb this is always online DRM for single player games. Easy off switch for old versions when you want the cash cows to buy the new one at full price.
