Justifying a price will vary from person to person, but for some of my favorite games, freed from consoles officially, with less setup than emulation, they'll be worth it to me as soon as it works on Proton and I feel like replaying them again. By then, it will be on sale for $45 or something.
I understand, but I'm not sure I could justify spending even $45 on this. If they'd put a bit more effort into it sure, but this is purely a cash grab.
If it works, it works. It would be nicer if they did better, but they solve enough of my own problems as someone trying to run those games in the modern era that I'll easily put up with it for some of the best games ever made.
I'm not sure that's the message we really should be sending though. We shouldn't encourage huge studios to get away with this kinda laziness. I agree that they're some of the best games ever made, which is why I think Konami should treat the IP with a bit more respect
In this case, I'd be rewarding for them for at least porting the HD versions from the last remaster to the PC for the first time, in a way that actually preserves those games outside of consoles and piracy. If you want to see the least that Konami can do, I'm told we should look at their collection for Silent Hill.
