Welcome to the thirty first week of the 52 weeks of Christmas!!! What is the 52 weeks of Christmas you might ask? I will be giving away a new game each week for 52 week. To make things more fun, I will be asking a new question each week also. I hope that by doing this I may brighten someones week. I even create a group on Steam where you can follow every giveaway(link at the bottom).I hope you will have as much fun as I do with this.
New Week, New Questions
Q1: Orion Dino Horde was released to Steam over the last week. Even though it is marketed as a new games, it is only an updated version of Orion Dino Beatdown. The game has a new Steam page and a new Metacritic page but neither specify the game has an updated version of an older one. Do you think that it is ok to rebrand a game completely just because of an update? Do you think that the game should at least mention that it is not entirely new but rather just an heavily updated game? Is there nothing wrong with it because every game is an updated version of an older one?
Please leave some of your questions in this thread. It would really help out instead of me coming up with everything. Thanks.

To be quiet honest a lot of games have done this in one way or another. How many new games are redresses of old games with new levels without any real improvements to the content to merit the new game price? This game was horrible from what i saw. It

Yea, it's a sneaky marketing trick.

Considering how lots of people seems to be buying based on the Metacritic score (rather than using Metacritic as a way to quickly access all content for a given game and make their own opinion), it seems only natural.
In the ideal world developers release perfectly polished and finished games. As it is, a major update can change a game completely, so a fresh start makes sense.
People who do their research will find out anyway, the others will see reviews and score based on the game as it is at that particular moment, which is what they want.
Maybe a fair solution would be having a single Metacritic page that prompts you with the latest version, while older versions are still accessible with a click. This would allow for reviewers to make incremental updates as well and for people to spot trends and see how much support a game is receiving.
Personally I fear it's just a way to reach that 85 score everybody is so obsessed with.

thanks-if the people who bought the game before the update get the new version for free,I am fine with that.

It doesn't have a new metacritic page, just a renamed one. One of the critic reviews starts with "Orion: Dino Beatdown is a disaster."
