TBH & IMO, sad to see but I’m actually a bit relieved because i was worried about what a KOTOR remake (not port) from Aspyr would even look like.

    Why can’t people make what they want to make

    Because it’s companies who are making these games not people. They own the rights to make Star Wars games so they can and will. An indie developer can’t make the game they may want to make because they don’t own the rights. I think it’s human nature to get angry at a company that isn’t treating an IP you like with respect.

    That being said I totally agree with you though, people definitely take these things so personally. All you have to do is just not buy it. It’s obvious these companies make remakes because people buy them, you then have this weird situation where the community is split between enjoying and hating.

      As someone who grew up playing the games, I’d love for them to be remade. Trying to get younger kids to play Starcraft, Runescape, Halo is hard. They are so used to the products of today they can’t get immersed and say it feels dated. I’d love for the current generation to experience these stories with the same investment that I had when I was a kid. And I get to play a different version if I want to. When some companies straight up remove the older version from the internet though, I can see why people get riled up.
