People: but censorship is your friend! Think about children! "Safety refusals" make them stupid enough to believe in government and justice!

First? What about Afghanistan or Iran?

That's very crazy reasoning. On par with "I like when read.me has not more than 50 'O' literals" :)
Anyway, I was talking about modern players who haven't played original.

Modern players who never played original won't play this remaster: it would feel too archaic by modern standards. And Nightdive's conservative approach doesn't address this nuance in any way.

We already have a community maintained newDark engine. Don't see any reason for the commercial remaster. Especially from Nightdive. Their remasters are boring. They avoid improvements unless it is inevitable. Their recent System Shock 2 (Thief 1 engine by the way) remaster was... the same game community made a decade ago. Boring.

In a few years it would be a $20 25 hour long game without DRM. Worth waiting -- they say the game is unexpectedly nice.

The best addictiveness is being helpful. But I bet it is too difficult for MS, so they will proceed with some psychological shit to keep users.

Scared? They just tune the balance because they see that the currect level of investments won't provide a nice ratio of profits. Scared... Scared of who?
