From a Steam review:

The game was advertised as having 40 new levels, which at first glance is sounds engaging and interesting, until you find out most of those levels are programmer/beta/alpha stages. It’s not entirely new content, but rather going through iterations until you arrive at the level as it is today. While interesting, it does feel disingenuous to advertise this as a new level. When I hear braid has a new level, I think “There’s one more puzzle piece”, but that’s not the case. You are not rewarded with anything in game, but instead receive some occasionally insightful commentary. In total, there are around 14 actual, new puzzles.

The potential legislation would be specific to the EU, but that doesn’t really matter; this market is large enough that it would directly affect other markets. Either the games are patched for all territories or others will make the EU-specific build available. One option generates positive press, the other negative, and any difference in cost would be negligible.

There’s also the argument of preserving art.

No chance. There could be a few exceptions, but there’s no shot that would have any amount of widespread adoption.

Good immersive sims are few and far between. I’m cautiously optimistic.

I don’t know whether it is the case, but it could be because those places have fewer English speakers, so they’re more difficult to reach.

I’ve tried getting into the first two a few times, but you’re right, they are very dated. I think Bethesda could get an easy win from remakes of these games; just polishing them up and making some gameplay changes to bring them in line with modern games. There’s no need to make the games first person, or anything that would dramatically change them, the market clearly has an appetite for CRPG’s.

Counterpoint: 100 hours is not too much, but it could be too much for you. That’s fine, it’s very obvious from the type of game it is that it’s probably going to be 50+ hours long, and if you’re not playing right at release, you can check Howlongtobeat. I don’t think playing a game for two months is a mark against it, as long as I like the game.

I wouldn’t underestimate Square Enix’s ability to moan about sales figures. I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it work.

Ross has said his early statement about a country needing to hit the threshold for its votes to count was wrong, and only seven countries are needed.

I’d had this game on my wishlist for quite a while, and I also picked it up during this sale. Among rhythm games that aren’t based around specific peripherals, i find this one of the most tight, well-playing ones, and I’d encourage anyone with even a little interest to check out the demo.
