      What even is the target demographic for this? Why would any gamer give a shit about the fucking Shrek 2 game being remastered?

      How is that supposed to make them any money? Gunna sell 12 copies to hardcore Shrek nerds.

        It could be made for streamers and content creators, people making videos like “nEw NoStAlGiA dRoPpEd”

        I honestly believe some people have decided to capitalize on that market, as a form of longform advertising and thereby double-dipping (when the content creators buy it, then again when the viewers buy it)

      Would you prefer companies abandon software and users struggle to work with it via modern hardware?

    I actually played Shrek 2 (emulated via Dolphin) like a year ago and was surprised at how decent it is. The story is absolutely unhinged and the characters are anything but balanced, but it’s a decent local multiplayer beat-em-up from the era.
