Quoted from IdahoRealtor:the batshit prices sellers are asking for Pirates will crash if it gets remade
I agree on batshit prices but a permanent crash is not a certainty.
It really depends on the price of the remake and the potential reduction of features.
JJP isn't going to reproduce it for the original price (and possibly not with all the features like the rocking ship.)
Earlier run WOZ games have benefited from the higher priced remakes.
