If this doesn't scream anti-preservation, I don't know what does.

They don't want anything preserved, because if it disappears, it can be "remastered" and resold like a brand new game with zero actual input capital.

And the remastered was a total disaster, Rockstar Games' worst title was the "The Defective Edition" of GTA: The Trilogy.
