Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It will definitely sell, that's not in question. But how much longer are we going to do this? It's been remade twice. Halo has been remade twice. Are we really gonna go for a third time in 10 more years, STILL with no original content? Or nothing good at least in Halo's case. At some point people who were going to play it will have played it. And it's not inaccessible. You can fire up an N64 emulator on any old phone or computer. A decent one will emulate the 3DS version.
It's not that I don't see the value in it, but it should have been done a long time ago. I've played it at least twice. I'm not going to play it again. When do loyal fans (or anyone mildly tech savvy) get rewarded with something new? And what happens when there is no more nostalgia to huff because we stopped making things?
because people want to buy it.
I love it. I love being able to re-play these old games.
you realize you are only one person right? and millions of other people disagree with you, at least judging from sales numbers on these.
nobody is forcing you to buy or play this game, for sure. plenty of new games are also being made, you can go buy the new kirby they just announced today. i'm not sure why you think nintendo should only make the zelda game you specifically want to play, that's a bit nutty isn't it?
Judging by the number of people who aren't buying it, billions of people disagree with you. The number of people on the planet goes up, the number of people with this console goes up, of course the number of sales will go up. This isn't an argument for anything. Random trash slop will also sell to some people, increasingly, that doesn't mean you're correct.
