Some Patches Required
Hello everybody, and welcome to Some Patches Required. Every other Thursday, your hosts Aaron and Zak use their backgrounds in game development and analysis to discuss various facets of the ever-turbulent games industry. From interviews with AAA/indie devs to deep dives on timely topics, the duo hopes to entertain and educate you on this wild medium we all love.

Remasters, Re-releases, and Googling "Frank"

Before you begin this episode, Zak and Aaron invite you to revisit the treasured memories you built while playing your favorite games. Were you trying to best your father on the digital be-iced colosseum that plays host to hockey? Working night and day to stop the Reapers from destroying humanity? Perhaps doing a Bethesda thing?
Now ask yourself: how much would you pay for that experience to look better or run smoother?
In this episode, our humble hosts dive into the murky, confusing, and often contentious topic of video game remasters, re-releases, and remakes. How much should you pay for them? How long should a company wait to remaster/re-release/remake a game? What the hell is the difference between the aforementioned terms, anyway?
While neither Zak nor Aaron can provide a conclusive answer, they can (at the very least) offer an extended segment where they talk about people who were in the film "Frank," a movie neither of them has actually seen.
TLDR: Business seems to be running as normal at Some Patches Required.
