>I think this line of thinking is extremely overrated.
Same. People should stop being an overzealous fanboys towards developers and brands. These companies aren't something sacred. Devs come and go. All of them have their part in each project, so you can't even go with "OG [brand] is back because there're these 3 guys there" since it took more than them to get that game you like out of the door.

>And if they would it would be to dig up Heretic/Hexen and try to butcher it into a Doom 2016/Eternal clone.
Nah, Heretic/Hexen is more likely to get a "your typical modern cooperative game" treatment.

Funniest part is that there's practically no legal problems on that front. All parties are under one rule, they just didn't bother (yet, maybe). Maybe if Microsoft pushes them to sort out backlogs for Game Pass like what Bethesda was doing... although I'm pretty sure they did that on their own initiative since, surprisingly enough, Bethesda was relatively good when it comes to this stuff.

>Also, having older games re-released and made to natively support widescreen fixes, modern control options and a whole host of other things without having to use fixes from old sites that may or may not be functioning, that is an advantage imo to pay for in and of itself.
Yup. It just makes said game more accessible than quick DOSBox package, which is also great since some people just couldn't be bothered with making even smallest steps to make the thing running. Their problem, sure, but still.

>Hexen as a Fighter is kinda close, I guess, but not really.
He's at least far more fun to play with less but more interesting weapons, better levels to go through, and more fun enemies to fight. He makes the centaurs the most bearable on top of it all.
Witchaven has some neat ideas and sprites, and is certainly playable through modern things like GDX. Everything it tries to do is just better in other games.
