Okay, but those don't run on ps4/5 or switch and they aren't selling it on PC so what's the problem?
It's okay for developers to re release old games on modern consoles. It's okay.
without even a FPS boost to 60fps? For £50
nah, thats not ok. by any stretch.
Especially when the PS3 version was (as far as I recall) available streamed on PS+ Premium tier/PS Now
Not for full price, usually this would be a 20 dollar straight up purchase, and for games like Skyrim if you already owned a copy you'd get the upgrade for free. This is a cash grab.
A release on a modern console worth 50 dollars would have been a remaster. See Halo MCC and Mass Effect Legendary edition there for examples of good rerelease price vs payoff
Skyrim is a terrible example TBH. That game has been released and rereleased for full price over and over and over again on every platform under the sun. It barely ever even goes on sale.
