Whoever is actively against release of original version is obviously kissing George ass. There is no other reasonable explanation, besides trolling.

If one is to be fair, they should support the release of ALL official versions in the best quality format, not just the original version. For example, when they released 1997 version, a whole new generation grew up with those versions and many may be as fond of 1997 just as the older generation is fond of original version.

There are also many original version fans who actively dismiss other versions. Whenever I express that all version should be released, you have a bunch of original version fans saying “it is pointless because there is no real difference between SE versions anyway”, or even “no one cares about SE versions”, or something similar. In my opinion, those fans are the very same kind of inconsiderate a-holes like the ones who do not care about release of original version, whom they despise so much.
