Nothing was hidden, click bait.
Who is checking for Gollum lol. Waste of a good slot if you ask me.
The best simple metric, if the thought of asking yourself “but why?” ever occurs when you decided to do a remaster, it’s best not to do a remaster.
Personally, I feel that game prices are too high. Patient gaming is where I'm at.
Besides all of that, I don't have the time for all of these games maybe cut down the scope of the game, go back to linear, 10-20 hour games and if its an open world don't make it a huge empty sandbox with most of it being unused or with a boring game loop. If a game publisher decides to jack up prices then I expect top notch quality with no fluff included anywhere and that it works day one the fact that I have to mention that is sad, then and only then to me such a high price would be justified which has not been the case for some games in recent years. Finally, if a full priced game incorporates f2p monetization and battle passes, then to me its price increase is not justified in my book.
I’ll play them when I get the time. I never get any time :(
