So, what’s in the package? Total War: Rome Remastered features the content of the original game, alongside both the Barbarian Invasion and Alexander DLCs. If we’re serious about putting pressure on scuzzy industry practises, we should probably highlight the nice ones too, and I have to say, this is a very nice move.
Some players have even been able to activate their ancient physical copies of the original on Steam in order to get the discount.
Obviously this supposed trap is a financial one, but the game launches at half price for anyone who owns the original, which is probably most of the people it’s aimed at. “Oh no”, you shout, “I’ve been tricked into having a great time, those devious bastards!” Total War: Rome Remastered is unabashedly aimed at folks for whom the phrase “I hate Gauls” holds an almost spiritual significance, but it does so in such a generous, pro-consumer package that it’s hard to see it as anything more than a love letter. To bait someone implies luring them into some sort of horrible trap, except that with so-called nostalgia bait, the trap is just a kindly, wizened grandpa reminiscing about a thing that was good.
