But video game publishers rarely release old games. I mean, even if there was no Doom Special Edition, you wouldn't be able to walk into a store and buy the original Doom would you? Games are made, released, and then replaced by new versions (better graphics, more levels, more moves, different storyline, etc etc)

I admit this is a vaguely similar situation, but definitely not the same.

And Ingo, I see you have a new favourite game and therefore a new favourite movie. What is the reasoning? Why the change?
