- Description

"Money grab" is a cynical term used to describe a product, usually a remake or a sequel, that appears to have been made solely to generate profit with minimal effort. It implies that the developers or publishers are exploiting the nostalgia of fans without providing significant improvements or new content. This phrase is often leveled at games that include heavy microtransactions or high price tags for minor graphical updates. It carries a strong tone of betrayal from a consumer who feels their loyalty is being monetized unfairly.
- Example
-
> This remake is a total money grab that adds nothing but a few high-res textures and a store.
> I hope people see this for the garbage money grab it is and stop pre-ordering from this company.
> Releasing the game at $70 without the original DLC included feels like a blatant money grab.
