In 10 years you're better off just playing the 8K remaster on PS6 or maybe just playing red dead redemption 3 which is pretty much the same game but with better graphics and combat.

Yes, the remaster, on a locked-down hardware platform, both of which I will have to pay for again. Hopefully by then I will also be too old to remember what 'anti-consumer' means.

* If you get a remaster at all

* If the current IP owner didn't make a mess of the remastering process (in an aesthetic or technical sense)

* If the remaster is free of defects that make the game unplayable for seasoned users of that game

* If you have the target platfrom of choice that the remaster targets.

In other words, you would have to be very lucky.

Perhaps in 20 years I'll be able to play HL3 instead of HL2 :)
