Diablo 2 Resurrected is a remaster and should be played and loved the same way the classic was, here's why

It does SAY that… but let me ask you something… regardless of what marketing text says, I employ you to use your own logic and judgement and to honestly consider what your definition of a MOD would be vs a REMASTER?

Here is my definition (which I don’t expect everyone to agree with, but that’s fine):

MOD = Modification of an existing game. Meaning the original game is still there but the MOD well MODIFIES the game to add additional features/functionality. This could be gameplay mechanics, graphics, etc… but the original game is still there.

REMASTER = Creating a brand new game from the ground up based on the older original game.

Personally, this is just a MOD. It should not be difficult to understand the difference IMO. It might be a very well done MOD, but it meets the spirit and intent of a MOD far more than it does a REMASTER.

What troubles me is that this “MOD” (call it what you want) costs either $40 or $60… which is quite expensive if you ask me. GTA V for example is being remastered from the ground up for the next-gen consoles and PC… and is going to be a FREE upgrade for those who bought the previous version.
