I forgot at least about Ziggurat.

>Some of them are a lot better at preservation
Definitely. Like I said, Digital Eclipse who share the nu-Atari roof with Nightdive now, seemingly been doing pretty decent job at all of their re-releases.
>while Nightdive's main thing is using their list of IP licenses to convince other studios to let them have more.
Fair point. I was about to ask "They just own System Shock & SiN, no?", but then spotted that you meant "licenses". Bethesda projects and Blade Runner are good eye candy in that regard.
>they're not doing shady stuff like what they did to System Shock Portable or the Blade Runner shit.
Aren't they also bring some modded stuff into System Shock 2 (in case that's what you're referring to) with authors' blessings?

How did they messed up a reboot? It's a new game, so naturally it's gonna have some discrepancies with original thing like all modern remakes (such as Resident Evil ones) because those are two different entities

I do recall them having not that great of a reputation, but still think it's important to recall everyone on that front. Especially if they're terrible so you can hold them accountable. Speaking of which (as we do watch upon gaming preservation here just a little), I really hope that soon enough there would be proper discussions about brand nostalgia and how companies (nu-Atari & nu-Apogee the first come to mind, especially since they just acquired respective brands) utilize them to form parasitic relationship with an audience as people are often too stupidely sentimental towards developers & publishers.
Or how pic related meme is still pretty much relevant to a point where such simplification could lead to fueling elitism and entitlement among known industry figures (like John St. John sperging out over Gianni doing Duke shit and... hell, basically Daikatana).
