The rerelease was the absolute bare minimum. Not a remaster or any updates of offensive text etc. it required the bare minimum effort on their part and they are gonna be raking in money that they could have put towards keeping people employed and making a new game, but they'll just pocket it and continue to coast off of nostalgia and name recognition. I don't know the specifics of the layoffs, so maybe they were truly necessary, but generally there's backlash to layoffs, and knowing that they are obviously not going to be hurting economically probably doesn't ease the backlash. I have no real opinion on it, other than corpos bad, just providing context.
