And would it not have been better for perspective consumers to know that both versions were coming out so they could choose whether to wait for the better version?  I don't see what new system or old system had to do with it.  It is OBJECTIVELY BETTER for consumers to know about both versions. 

As for GOTY editions, I honestly don't like that practice.  But, at least it's common enough that gamers should know it's coming.  On the other hand, I don't believe there is a precedent for a game being rereleased that quickly, so gamers should not have expected it.

Don't you think you are going a little too far with this, I mean yeah for sure it would be nice for the consumer to know everything that is going to release at what time and date. The consumer isn't obligated to know that though, corporations have rights as well and there are laws in place that are fought all the time between consumers, firms, and corporations and for good reason. TLoU Remastered is not a good reason to claim anti-consumerism just because they didn't let people know a year in advance that a new version for a new system that 95% of the PS3 owners won't even buy right away will be getting a better version. I mean, that's pulling straws like crazy.

Sony advertised TLoU for the PS4 well before its launch and that is literally the most standard of practices that you can get from any industry.


It isn't a matter of law.  I never claimed that Sony broke any law. It's a matter of making decisions that are the best for their consumers.  They had two choices.  One was better for their consumers, and one was better for them.  They chose the one that was best for them.  Nothing illegal about it, but personally, if I had bought the original, I'd have been miffed about it.
