That said, I'm a huge fan of MoO and MoO2. MoO2 is hands-down my favourite 4X game, I still get people together for LAN multiplayer on occasion. Probably like many of you, I would have loved to have seen these games get a higher resolution UI, implement a few community patches and maybe get a new soundtrack. These games are almost perfect and have withstood the test of time because of that. I WILL NOT BUY this game for the above-listed reasons, but from what I've seen of it, much of the game's flow, balance and core mechanics have been upset in this remake. I consider it unfaithful and terribly disappointing to say the least. But let's be clear, this IP was grabbed up by a scumbag anti-privacy Pay-to-Win shovelware MMO company, not by the real fans who might have cared about preserving the integrity of the game.
