And only 2 player split screen, when the original had 4. It has no reason to exist whatsoever.

Neither when it comes to the multiple moon landings (the last manned mission being Apollo 17, and unmanned landings are continuing to this day with Japan, China, and India being the newest countries to land on the moon) and we certainly can still release a complete game today. Pandemic Studios Battlefront 1 and 2 were originally released on PC in the form of a physical CD-ROM disc and the jewel cases can still be found on Ebay today for as little as $4. The digital versions of the originals were first listed on Steam in 2019 (although pirated digital versions have existed ever since the games originally came out on PC in 2004). Had the originals never been released on PC and no digital versions ever existed, there's no way Aspyr would've ever been able to remake a worse version of the original Pandemic Studios games. Hence why actual console exclusives can still only be played on emulators.

Some investors and Shareholders had a hand depending on the circumstances that occurred. They refuse to learn anything, so they repeat their criminal activities somewhere else. It don't matter what gets hot these days. The challenge is giving these disgraces the boot or leave their leadership to make their own place to make games.
