The comparison is more akin to how they have actually restored the mona lisa with chemical and color correction as a means to make it withstand the test of time. Thats essentially what has happened with the remastered version of this game.
I understand that in other instances, remasters and remakes might as well be a different game, but if you have played crysis, this is barely the case.
Im not saying its fine to lose access to original data. All im saying is in this particular case, there isnt much loss to be outraged about.
The publishers havent un-alived the IP. We have just lost access to some historical data.
I am all for preservation. I dont want to underplay the detriments of lost data. I just want to subjectively quantify this loss.

It’s not about the IP. It’s about the actual piece of work.
Imagine if I drew a new version of the Mona Lisa, and they destroyed the original to display mine instead.
They could use the old one as a placemat to protect a table from having soup spilled on it.
Goddammit, Roshi, never again.

Nope, digital art doesn’t deteriorate, needs no repainting.
