I'm curious what happened behind to have the decisions porting abandonwares that most people have never heard of to modern platform? The creator was facing a finanicial hardship so they look to get the money back in easy way?

but why they didn't do it earlier? releasing it now on the time most of the fans have moved on and new people don't know it exists then they will sell to whom?

i dunno, maybe they did not see any profit in it at the time. sometimes games or old series randomly go viral on twitter or something, and companies watch social media like hawks to be knowing what folk are interested in at any given time.

nostalgia is addictive. i mean they are remastering the msdos shooter "blood" for what, the THIRD time i think?
