That's why its asking price seems so weirdly high. I get that it's
just the Day One price; that asking for that much implies a certain
expectation of value, and that more work was put into it than just an
AI-upscaling of textures.

It's actually a lot more than that, although it is a beautiful game to
look at now.

It actually feels like a whole new game.


As for backlogs, I long ago accepted that I'm highly unlikely to ever
work my way through my entire backlog of games. I shall continue to
buy new games without ever worrying about what I haven't yet played,
otherwise I will never buy another game!

I also long ago accepted that at least part of the attraction of games
to me personally is the pleasure of owning them (renting a licence)
and the pleasure of knowing that I can play them whenever I wish. Or
maybe just installing them *yet again* just to uninstall them to make
way for other games.
