    Bit of a surprise release; Nightdive studios have bought the rights to Sin from back in 1998, and have performed a remaster of it, releasing it today as Sin Gold. It contains both the original and Wages of Sin, the expansion.

    There was just about no hype or warning. The first most knew was when they began updating the Steam app IDs and accidentally broke the entry, causing it to disappear from peoples libraries. Prior to that there it had been admitted a year ago it was in production, but stuck in legal limbo.

    Thanks. Just bought it, loved that game back in the day. Sin Episode One was also a cracker, was gutted when it was shelved.

    It's not a remaster though, just an update for it to work on modern systems and fix some bugs....good enough for me though.

    Apparently they are working on an actual remaster at the moment.

    I've corrected the title to be clearer.

    Was a good game. Very innovative in a few areas. Will buy this.
