See AllBrazilian Agency Formally Notifies Nintendo Over Console Bricking EULA Clause
Yeah I'm boycotting everything Nintendo these days. They've embraced being the heel which crushes their customers in the name of Anti-Piracy, which has always been more about control than profit. I've no need for them or their totalitarian approach to console design. Down with tyrants.

This is such an odd and out of touch take the situation. It really catches the lack of nuance and understanding of video games and how the community interact.
The LEGO Group Orders Bionicle: Masks of Power Shut Down

'You Have Tainted Ghibli': Legendary One Piece Director Megumi Ishitani Responds To The Ghibli AI Trend
Definitely a terrible thing to be happening, doesn't quite measure up to the entire, need drawn out protests and boycotts to ensure a person's basic right to not have their voice or image used by AI.

Let's start by saying focusing overly much on a graphics update is the wrong way to go. Fallout New Vegas is still a better game than any of the rehauled graphic variants which have released since. When considering what to be done with the game looks focus should be on places in the game. The atmosphere of those places, and the way they can be improved with small additions or adjustments to enhance that atmosphere is key. Which isn't to say there isn't place for some ambition, but that's a bit harder to speculate on without an understanding of what the company is aiming for with this remake.
Next there is dialogue. There could be some gems to add here. Little rewards for people really willing to invest time into exploring the characters again and not skip through the familiar dialogue. Changes are more fraught with peril, but plausible provided the focus is given to the narrative quality and better setting up any of the additions.
