Oblivion Remasterd Deluxe Edition is reminding us all of the fall of gaming.

Why in the world would they shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Because they don't make money from mods and this was an obvious cash grab from the beginning. If Bethesda had any good ideas they'd be making a game out of them. They don't, so instead they're reselling you the same game they already sold you 19 years ago with a fresh coat of paint on it. A million people will buy it anyway because nostalgia, Bethesda gets their money, and whatever happens afterward is not their concern.

I saw a rumour that somehow they're building Unreal Engine 5 for graphics on top of the old Gamebryo engine the original release used so they can keep the original game logic.
