You're right, I was being a little flippant.

Still, it would certainly be far more niche. While being able to ride a horse was an essential life skill a little over a hundred years ago, you might get an impressed reaction if you were to tell someone that you ride these days.

In a galaxy with replicators, who would actually still know how to cook eggs (other than Sisko's dad)?

Hopefully you're in a better situation now, I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through that.

I guess I'm fortunate that I tend to associate it with some of the worst conversations I've had with people on Reddit rather than anything more personal.

"We trained it on social media."

"Why does it keep making stuff up and then getting argumentative if called out?!"

Because it's toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even "worse", these people will mostly be visible minorities.

This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.

Perhaps there's a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I'd hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

Nieces, nephews & godchildren.

The development cost for building it out in the new engine would probably be an order of magnitude higher than the simple upscale.

If they thought they'd get an order of magnitude more sales from doing things that way, they'd have done it that way.

I'm with you, though. I'd love a proper remaster that also came as a native PC edition.
