am i the only one that gets pissed off that the only way to buy the original game is by spending more to get the more expensive remaster.
>>12873326It was like $70 in the early 2010s for a physical copy before it came to Steam
>>12873326That game is being published by Nightdrive Studios. They had nothing to do with the development of System Shock 2 or its original publication. They’re digital squatters, you shouldn’t be giving them money anyway.
>>12873334even more reasons to make the original available without the remaster but i dont know if they would get money that way since i guess the original studio probably doesnt exist anymore.
Then pirate the original?? the original publisher has shut down anyways
>>12873326>paying third party rights holders for digital copies of games>also being a newfag
>>12873326just pirate it and send some cash in an envelope to Ken Levine
>>12873326Holy shit.Imagine paying 40 dollars for a slightly modded game from 1999!People will because they REALLY need others to see their "achievements".
>>12873326On the one hand, the “OG” game lets me pirate it because it's abandonware. The remaster justifies buying the game because it runs on my PC without me having to download a modpack.
>>12873334Actually it's co published by Atari
>>12873598>>12873606I thought these remasters are mainly for people who want to play these games on consoles
>>12873698they are, but it makes a particular member of our doom thread seethe
>>12873326Should have gotten it for free on Epic.
>>12873326You could just download it. Nobody's going to bat an eye.
>>12873697The company larping as Atari has nothing to do with the actual retro Atari
Zoomers are so braindead they really believe they'll go to hell if they pirate a game whose profits don't go to the original developers anymore
>>12873326Imagine paying for a remaster that makes the game look like a shitty early 2000s HD modpack.
>>12873326pirate the game and send some money directly to the original developers
>>12873598>People will because they REALLY need others to see their "achievements".controller support and modern optimizations is the only thing i like about it.. and i guess the slightly better graphics
>>12873326just fucking pirate it. why would you ever pay a third party who butchered the game to pander to normalfags? piracy is always ok but it's straight up immoral to buy remasters, or any other game where your money doesn't go to the devs
>>12873326You can probably just get the original cds at a Goodwill.
