Remastered is aesthetically different enough that it shouldn't be considered preservation of the original game. We deserve reasonable access to the original Dark Souls on PC.

The original Dark Souls should be on gog, the remastered version is cool and all, but prepare to die edition has some things that make the game feel different. In my opinion the game should be brought to gog so fans of the saga can experience the true Dark Souls

I wanted to get into this game so badly and started a run in a copy of Prepare to Die edition I borrowed on Steam from a friend. Then, not only did library share get phased out, Prepare to Die got taken off the store front, so I have this game installed on my drive but I can't even play it! Madness, the original version of Dark Souls should be available to all regardless of it being "outdated;" the Mario games on NES are technically outdated by Mario All Stars on SNES, and you don't see Nintendo forcing us to play only All Stars if we want that experience!
More people need to be able to play this original version of Dark Souls without having to resort to piracy or paying 10,000,000 dollars for Steam Keys. The servers don't even exist anymore without mods, Namco literally has nothing to lose.
The Souls games are my favorite series of games ever. Dark Souls Remastered is awesome, but as many fans know, it's barely a remaster. Experiencing the original Dark Souls should be something that everyone should be able to do without needing to pirate it. You can't gatekeep art because a "better" version was released.
Those games also need your vote!
Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
