Kind of a crap move if you ask me.

IDK, it kinda makes sense. You buy it once and you can play either the original or the remaster. At least they kept the original around.

The issue is the price hike, not the bundle.

Rule of thumb: if your actions make Microsoft look good, you fucked up. (Referring to Doom I+II and Heretic+Hexen bundles that are free updates for owners of even one game in each bundle.)

And all the people who've already bought the original can still play it per usual with Steam and GOG.

Kinda mean but I get why they're doing it. The remaster is better in basically every way, but it does cost more money.

Same with the re-remaster of Blood.

Wait long enough and the bundle will cost about as much as it does now when on sale.
