Or, a significant number of their people needed something to do while they were ramping Starfield development down and ESVI up. Ya’ll bitch about layoffs but these multi-thousand person dev houses do not have the ability to pay people to do nothing. ESV can also help with ESVI development.
I think you severely underestimate the amount of time and resources needed to “do something original” vs a remake. There are organizational structures, work pipelines and timelines you’re not understanding here. This is a perfect ramp-up to ES6.

Remastering old content is an indication they're out of ideas.
Game development suffers from the same disease as movie production, a surfeit of investor money.

People are stuttering at 40-50 fps at lowest graphics on decent to good PCs
Don't spend money on shit ports and games either
