"Spacers Choice Edition" has ruined decades of goodwill built by Obsidian.

At least for me.

I thought nothing but glowingly positive thoughts about this company from back when I first played Neverwinter Nights all the way to The Outer World's first release.

Seeing what you are doing to your consumers with this "edition" is so incredibly in-your-face predatory and offensive that now its all I will think about when I think Obsidian.

Its bad enough you release a "remastered" version just a couple years after the game comes out for full price, but you dont offer it as a free upgrade to people who owned the game.....

Then the game comes out and its performance is worse than the original?

Is this a joke?

They're right though.
I hate how people NEVER blame the devs but always the publisher or any other company behind the game.
Guys, devs can do wrong as well. They are no saints and they are just as greedy.

Hum... in the universe I live in, people always blame the "devs" and never see that most descisions are not in theirs hands... Want an example ? this post right here x).

I also live in that universe, people usually are blaming the developers (rather than the publisher). In situations like Spacer's Choice, I don't see why people are mad at Obsidian (or Virtuos for that matter). Private Division is the one that decided how much time/resources to give the re-release by how much they were willing to spend to pay Virtuos, so they would be at fault, in my mind. But it happens so often, (next gen remasters AND PC games getting released in an unfinished state) that there is a larger problem with the industry that needs to be addressed somehow.
