    I wonder if it’s a Japanese thing because the only other game I recall doing something like that was the Dark Souls remaster whatever. They at least had the decency to offer something if you owned the original but fuck having two copies of the same game with slightly improved gfx.

      It certainly is, and it goes all the way back to at least the late 90s. I lived there from 00-03 and I saw so. many. games. do this. Granted, I was console only back then, and in Japan the number of new and used game stores is mind-blowing, so it’s not like you couldn’t trade in the old version and get at least SOME money back. Can’t do that on PC.
