Brain is a physical thing. Self-awareness and consciousness are not. Still, thinking about yourself you can’t deny that you have those. But an observation like that is not very materialistic or scientific which is why this creates a conundrum that doesn’t have any good solution and why people argue about it for centuries, maybe even millennia.

my thoughts too. it’s not that big of a remaster to take money for it

the graphics have been updated recently and the gameplay tweaks are not that extensive

i think they are just refreshing the game a bit before releasing the new dlc
