It's a podcast so I can't skim it for sources, but I wonder if Oldschool Runescape by Jagex is a competitor for the title. They've made hundreds of millions off rebooting an old game

Blizzard is the first example that comes to my mind with monetizing nostalgia with World of Warcraft. I must say, the feeling I have when randomly hearing similar tunes in Dota 2 which sometimes seemingly sounds like Elwyn Forests soundtrack is quite something.

If I remember correctly, Jagex revived the Old Runescape basically accidentally when they were going to shut it off. Needless to say, it worked for them very well. I love the visual, music and the feeling of first exploration which sometimes washes me over when I'm watching some Old Runescape lore videos.

Damn. Being a kid when first games were created was truly something.

just ask Codex to do that for you. Or whatever AI client you're using. I'd do it do it but my laptop is closed andon the other side of the room from me.
