That's not the question, the problem is that the publisher didn't give us the new edition when they launched it (same publisher and developer studio, that the only thing that they did was take the MODs made by the community and apllied them to their game) and only offered a disscount, for me is the same that to say: " eyyy dude, I want to scum you reselling the same game to you but with the community MODs applied, only that is the difference, I hope that you don't observe that", and now, they want to force us to buy the available version because, the money is the money, I know that this is an entertainment industry and that these are companies, but take care about your clients, I will not buy more games published by Bandai Namco (and with that stupid decision to change its logo to show the "integration").

Or we could all take a stand and refuse to throw any more cash at them till they give us back what cost them nothing to maintain.

Yeah but how? There's not enough PTDE enjoyers to make a noticable dent in their sales.

If that were true they wouldn't have lied about working to bring the servers back in the first place. And make no mistake, it was a lie from the beginning.

now you have to purchase the inferior, more expensive, full priced, remastered version to play online, great!

I bought the game from a key reseller just to play online

GG my $180

No game is worth more than it launched for. Especially not one that's so thoroughly neglected by its publisher.

you could have pirated it and still played online for free lol wtf brah

I don't buy this line. What about the remastered version makes it less hack-able than this version? The Remastered version is basically the same thing with DSfix and a few arbitrary changes around the map. It's not like it's being run through a new engine or anything is it?

From what I know, it was ported over to the same engine as Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, probably an in-house engine. The DS1 engine is probably too messy for inexperienced hands to fix, so it's easier to just shut the servers down than hire talent to do it for them.

Meanwhile modders have already fixed the RCE issue on their own, Metal Crow for example.
It probably wouldn't be too hard or time consuming (or even expensive) to fix but they want people to buy the remaster and this is the perfect excuse to push them over there.
They would've done better to just relist this version, fix the RCE issue, reopen the servers and give it away (or greatly discount it) to Remaster owners.

wow. ggs boys. some of the best times ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW4nmOgjPbc&t=176s&ab_channel=Dreekuz

Finally I can sip some tea

Unrelated question but I just started playing this today (I got the game years ago, playing ER finally convinced me to give it a proper try) and I see a lot of comments about how the remaster is a "demaster" and overall crap. Can somebody clue me in on why is it bad?
