In the case of Oblivion Remastered (not the proper one, the Bethesda one) it seems closer to #2. It has very similar reviews to this screenshot. A lot of people were excited and happy to play it, but as time went on people found that the game was actually moderately bugged and has many progress breaking issues that the devs ignore. I’m assuming that Bethesda released this purely to undermine Skyblivion, but it’s clear which dev team cares about what they produce. Side note, the absolute scumbags charge £50 for it. A remaster should never be above £20
It’s a no brainer, it’s a remaster so no new designing, no new story or landscape, just polishing what was expertly crafted many years ago. The problem with the high-end gaming industry is that the publishers and corporate devs take more and more liberties for their benefit, harming others in the process such as:
Constant patch updates after an unfinished release instead of releasing a game in its entirety;
Crunch culture on employees to get a publisher deadline that probably really doesn’t matter more than the mental and physical wellbeing of the team;
Selling licenses to access mandatory online features of games, without which the game is rendered broken instead of perfectly playable, for example a leaderboard that just stops working and doesn’t affect gameplay in any way.
It seems they’re now trying to pass old refreshed games off at full price to capitalmaxx off a new generation, as well as nostalgic returnees.
Did that happen? I bought Oblivion Remastered on release day and had minimal problems with it, it’s a Bethesda game so some are to be expected. I’ve run through it twice now and have had a blast.

I really don’t know what people expected with oblivion remastered tbh, its a Bethesda title of course it’s broken
I was downvoted for pointing this out.

I can understand they want some more money but since I already own the game, it is a graphic improving DLC. Should be £10-£15 max.

But the update is so much more work than a horse armor dlc which is a lot of money for no content.

Does that mean Bethesda actually fixed 95% of their release bugs?
No it just has only moderately more bugs than the orthogonal instead on a lot more.
