I've never played it and that's exactly what it seemed like from the article. Anytime a audio/developer releases an Anniversary Edition or something similar it's just a cash grab that plays off of people's nostalgia for the game (I'll admit, I've bought Skyrim multiple times) and usually doesn't change much, if at all.

At least Skyrim, for all the general re-releasiness, was bringing the game to new platforms (VR was great BTW, even if I didn't play it super long), and the additional PC release moved it to 64bit, which there was an actual reason to do. They milked it for sure (and fuck their paid mod system), but there were legitimate reasons to buy the new versions.

I don't know what the reason to buy this again would be.
