It matches their overall nostalgia farming corporate strategy. Looks very retro. Maybe it can get some to buy yet another version of Skyrim.

    I refuse to call Skyrim retro.

    I too think we‘re long past the point of calling games that released as recent as 15 years ago retro because they simply don‘t evolve in the speed they used to.

    Imagine looking back at 1993 when you’re in 2008. Yeah, that’s a huge leap in technology. But look back at 2011 now and you realize that stuff doesn‘t feel nearly as ancient.

    From all I know a game needs to be at least 20 years old to be considered retro these days. That‘s the most common definition you will find these days.

    Why would anyone buy a game, because of a company logo?

    Have you seen the response when MS rebranded the Xbox logo to the old version? They immediately put Asha Sharma on a pedestal. Many adult gamers that are my age (30+ year olds) are idiots who are hankering to wallow in nostalgia of their youth.
