Yes, but it's worth it considering that Abe is pretty much integral to the planned quintology. Abe Oddysee and Exoddus are such old games and, as fantastically made as they are, they no longer appeal to more mainstream gamers who think that graphics are everything. Much of the modern gaming demographic probably haven't played AO or AE, and neither are they aware of them.
It's been a very long time since OWI made or published any new games. A remake of those first two games would, if successful, raise awareness of and familiarise people with the Oddworld series, and hopefully would mean that any future titles would sell better. It would also mean that there would be less pressure on those new titles to stand and perform alone. People aren't likely to buy a sequel to a game that they haven't even heard of.
I want OWI and JAW to be successful.
