Instead of adding more variety and making everything more fun, an iconic part of the games was eventually neutered down to some old dude sitting alone in some room who you play cards against. Not such a bad thing by itself, but it's a bit of an ultimate letdown.
I also didn't mind it so much. It would have been one of my favorite additions to the remakes if they hadn't gone full soccer mom on the rest of the GC.
