>>34072000I find it interesting that it's only now that people are getting fed up with GF's business practices. While Platinum is my favorite game in the series, I've never paid a cent for an updated version. I think it's a really horrible thing to plan to do to your consumers.
Most first versions could have easily been their third versions. The sorts of updates put into these games would be $15 DLC for other games, and it'd DLC that people would question the pricing of to boot. I'm glad people are waking up but I don't know why now. My guess is a combination of these factors.
>BW2 were updated versions that acted as actual sequels>XY was a disappointment and had no updated version>Sun/Moon further showed GF couldn't work with the 3DS and for some reason they chose to do a normal retread version rather than a sequel to their games that traded replay value for story emphasis
