Why didn't Jack come back from the New U?

My thought process on this is that he didn't want to give more money to Hyperion than he already has, and he doesn't really need it anymore, considering he hasn't died once since the first games.

That's pretty much a cop out still, make something as good or better before going back to the roots for a remake.

It's actually a pop up book

But I'm guessing you didn't have to go out of your way to actually buy a PC just for that game, didn't you?

He might have had to buy a better PC for gaming however. I don't really feel like playing on a jet engine. I have a laptop only, so if I were to go PC, I would have to buy a new computer.

No. But do you really think that somebody is only going to buy 1 or 2 games just because they're console exclusive? Maybe another game will catch his eye. I got a Wii because of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but now I have Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 9, and a few other games. Same with the Wii U (Got it last Christmas before all of the recent announcements). I only have Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U, but I know how Nintendo does things and knew that some of their more popular titles would be announced eventually (Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, etc.)
