When 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver announced<\/a> the Redux versions of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light in May, they also announced that owners of the current games would get a 50% discount on the new releases. The reaction from fans was not universal praise. Many people wondered why they’d have to pay at all for what seemed to be a fancy patch? 4A Games has responded<\/a> to the outcry by pointing out that Redux required a substantial investment of resources to develop. According to them, Metro 2033 was rebuilt entirely in the new engine and they feel that a 50% discount on the new version is “more than fair” for the work they did.<\/p>\n

Regarding the same discount on Metro: Last Light Redux, which 4A Games admits did not entail as much work, logistical and technical challenges prevented them from offering a deeper discount. In addition, they pointed out that the Redux package will include all the DLC.<\/p>\n

But we understand that for those of you who already had the DLC, the offer is not as compelling – again, we are not pretending this is as significant an overhaul as Metro 2033. And we did consider alternatives – e.g. 50% if you only owned the base game, 75% if you owned all the DLC – but these ideas raised a number of practical \/ logistical challenges.<\/p>\n

In the end, a flat 50% discount was judged to be the simplest, fairest solution. Ultimately, you are free to vote with your wallets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keep your ammo if you don’t want to trade, Ranger! The Underground is a harsh place!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
