Oh yeah.
The night dive remake of System Shock was awesome.
I played the original as a kid and it was just too hard. I also played SS2 and completed that: my gods that was a terrifying game.

It more that there’s a grift happening. What’s the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It’s a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

The press (newspapers) has an idiosyncratic grammar, probably born of maximising space in a newspaper column. Headlines are often grammatical nightmares, body copy less so.
