Wing Commander series.

Crimson Skies. How the fuck have we not had another Crimson Skies? We went through the whole pirate fad and with the current political situation of the USA...

I think the problem is it's a flight simulator, and those died as "video games." Nobody has a Sidewinder or Wingman joystick on their computer desks anymore, and they're not tremendously fun to play with a controller and exceptionally unfun with keyboard and mouse.

Flight sims are still around but they're way up in the enthusiast space adjacent to racing sims.

I played through Crimson Skies for the first time a few years ago and I heartily agree. So much fun! A bit janky though so yeah, a remaster would be fantastic.
