Not casting aspersions or trying to cancel Skyrim Grandma, but the BDS movement is calling for a Microsoft (and by extension Bethesda) boycott. If you're thinking about buying Oblivion Remastered, maybe don't.
You can always "buy" it on the high seas, like Meta did with millions of books 🏴☠️
What does BDS stand for?
Boycott, divest, sanction, regarding Israel.
MSFT owns Bethesda, and MSFT is actively partnering with, providing software services for, right now, the Israeli government and military.

Can't even say 'Palestine' internally, right now:

... after they fired a whole bunch of people who were working at MSFT and basicslly both leaked that MSFT was working with the IMOD, and also demanded they cease doing so.

These are two different pairs of two who've been fired for speaking up, out of the 1st and 3rd of this chunk of links.
I used to contract for MSFT, a decade ago.
I would have said I cannot imagine how their internal culture of self censorship and sycophancy could get any worse, but apparently this is how.
I am very confident more than just these 4 people have been fired, or at the very least, had their careers/employment functionally slotted into an early grave.
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions https://bdsmovement.net/
I saw the link before the comment and wondered what an "ovement" was.
Thank God I bought the GOTY on sale years ago and it looks great with a few tweaks and mods...
Skyblivion is on the horizon
And like what are you buying that the original game plus a few mods wouldn't give you? Controller support on steam? Not worth it
