We don't have to make it complicated

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The meme is specifically comparing these to PC Ports, so I'm limiting my scope to games that have PC versions. So no Nintendo games either for example.
And if there are lore changes then I would call that a "re-make" or "re-imagining". Part of the problem is that marketing teams have just chosen to go rogue in terms of what to call what. "Re-master" itself is a term that came from the mastering process of the music industry, to differentiate from "remix" or "re-recording", so I suppose you could argue that we need a better term overall for videogames. So this means I generally ignore whatever words they decided to slap onto the title screen and focus instead on what the changes actually are.
