Rockstar, Red Dead and low effort garbage games

I am sure by now you all know Rockstar is essentially just porting Red Dead 1 to essentially older consoles as is.  Meaning, to my understanding, that this is not a remaster or even an upscale.  It’s just a port to consoles it was not on before due to it’s age.  I think they even left out the PS5 (and PC) interestingly enough and they removed the multiplayer.  So for the same game minus part of what it was, you get to pay $50.  That’s not even highway robbery.  That’s like being robbed, raped and then the robber forces you to take him to a nice dinner and then drive him home.

One HAS to ask why does this happen and over and over again?

Well, we only have ourselves to blame really. If a company puts out effortless garbage in an obvious cash grab and folks buy it, even a modicum of success, will encourage more of such “efforts”.  Things like this take little to no investment in money or time to put out.  So if they spent next to nothing to generate it and it makes 10 million dollars, (random number for example) then it’s worth it in their minds even if their is some grumbling.

There is but one way out this of these low effort garbage games.  STOP BUYING THEM.  When they make no cash they will naturally adjust and put out something worth actual consideration because they will HAVE to.
