f you wanted a COMPLETE rewrite then it wouldn't be a new version. It would be a new game.
Yeah..... That's kinda my point. New versions usually don't require as much work as new games and the price tag should reflect that.
You will then kindly explain games like Thief 2, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Heroes of Might and Magic II, III, IV and V, Might and Magic I, II, III, IV & V, Might and Magic VI, VII & VIII and why all of those cost the full price of a new game despite being in many cases far less new versions of each other than DomPPP, Dom2 and Dom3 are?

Because if you are going to start down this path about whining why the game isn't a complete rewrite from the ground up and thus should not cost full price, I'm going to demand factual evidence to back up your claim that it is an industry wide standard. Especially since these days mere expansion packs often cost the full price of a new game.
