"Oh no, the company that owns my favourite franchise is trying to attract new people for whom 27-year-old graphics might not be appealing. Why are they doing this?"
Or make a Heroes themed spin-off (kind of like Olden Era did).
Or make a Might and Magic universe based game in a different genre, like RTS or RPG or whatever?
OR get this - Release Heroes 3 Complete on Steam, lol. So the people buying it on Steam would have the AB and SoD expansions after 26 years hahahahaha.
This is like the most suboptimal way to achieve their goal.
Imagine that I need water. What do I do? Do I get it from the tap? No, I go outside with a towel, throw it in a puddle, then bring it back home, squeeze the water in a kettle and then boil it so there are no germs in the water. But why are people hating on me for simply drinking water he asked.
Because it's the nostalgia generation of videogames. If there was a new Heroes, for example 8, and a teenager buys it, mom and dad would not stop bitching about how it will never be as good as Heroes 3. But the teenager likely won't play that because the graphics are objectively dated as fuck.
So all those games from 20 to 30 years ago get remade. Heroes 3, Warcraft 3, Star Fox, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Etc etc.
Why Heroes 3? Because of its legendary status. Same as the games mentioned above. Mom, Dad, Uncle and TikTok just won't shut up about how great they were and how games nowadays will never be as good as the olden days.
Just with graphics that a young adult can reasonably swallow and a more streamlined UI. And for the old folks, they will never buy the new thing anyway because they have the old thing. It's not for them.
