Well, if they are the same game then it would be reasonable to expect that this “new expansion for Diablo 2” actually works with Diablo 2. But it doesn’t. It only works with “Diablo 2: Resurrected”, which is sold separately. People who own Diablo 2 cannot play this new expansion pack without buying another game.
I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a game a “completely different game”. It seems to you all remasters are completely different games, and I just wholeheartedly disagree.
I think the main problem here is the claim that the game is getting it’s “first update in 25 years”
If the update applied to both the original and the remaster, then it would be 25 years, but in this case the update only applies to the 5 year old “Resurrected” game.

They are but they aren’t, and it seems mostly pedantic to hammer on that.

So Skyrim on Switch is not the same game as Skyrim on PC…?
Or even more obviously, Oblivion Remastered on the PC vs. Oblivion on the Xbox 360.

Would you consider Pokemon Red and Pokemon Fire Red the same game?
