I at least admire their courage not to disable likes and comments.

That is all I admire.

Who is this for

Who wanted this

"People liked Commander Keen, right? What if we brought it back?"
"Great idea!"
"I wasn't done. What if we brought it back... As a mobile game, that plays nothing like Commander Keen whatsoever and has nothing to do with it but the name?"

I mean I'm sure there's a bunch of little kids will be attracted to this who have never heard of Commander Keen before and aren't going to care about how different it is.

they were right that it had some untapped potential, even bringing it back as a platformer.
this would even actually make for an okay-ish Saturday morning cartoon or somethin, even if a bit run-of-the-mill.
I was not expecting the mobile route at all here. Good God

In that case they could have named it literally anything. Kids will be attracted to anything bright and flashy for a few days before they move on to the next thing. The whole point in calling it Commander Keen you would think is to draw on nostalgia.

if the original audience is not your core demographic when designing a new game in the series then consider not using that IP at all or you'll just get people mad and alienate people who otherwise probably wouldn't care
