Money grab by bethesda. Targeted at Console users as PC users have had a game better than the remaster since the original came out. (mods)
PC users that own the full game already, get a free copy. This is done so that modders wont just stick to the 'old' version, and instead, have some incentive to mod on the new version.
This allows Bethesda to port some of these mods to consoles, which they do via there own distribution system (which is DWARFED by nexus and steam) so that they can market to these customers, using the manpower of volunteers who distribute that work with no caveats and for free via other platforms.
I'm all for making money and all, but this is a straight up shit money grab and people are going to fall for it. Its all based around developers owning the consoles ecosystem so that they can suck as much money as possible from those users. These users often do not know better, as they are constantly fed misinformation from Game Publishers, Hardware makers, and game media that all have vested interest in keeping them uninformed.
Bethesda has been going the way of EA and Ubisoft for several years, and here we are.
