Lol that’s not the gotcha he thinks it is.

So many, and I mean thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of players/Elder Scrolls fans would give up their left testicle just for a true Morrowind remaster. Like honestly, so many people have a love and fondness for that game, even if it wasn’t their first ES title, that I truly believe almost everyone would tell him he’s wrong.

Morrowind only sold ~4 million units. I think you’re overestimating how big the fan base is. The fan base is loyal, opinionated, and vocal, but small.

  As of 2010 according to your link. And that was before it went digital/backwards compatible on Xbox One with a whole announcement.
  
  I know I bought it for my One as soon as I could back in 2018. And I bought it at least one other time since, when I got my PC.

    The article was updated in 2023 with the most recent data.
    
    Almost all of the sales of videogames are front-loaded. Most at launch (or at the launch of a re-release), and then it falls off hard over a couple of years. Morrowind came out in 2002. It’s incredible that Bethesda even released any sales data still by 2010. The units sold since then would be immaterial to the conversation.
