Today I just noticed that an HD version of Majesty Gold was added to my Steam library. I bought the original a few months ago, and it's still in my games list. However, this new game is there too. The original release has also been removed from the Steam store, with only the HD version remaining (though it appears to include both versions).

I was pretty surprised, and it seems like it was just stealth updated, because I didn't hear any sort of news about this release. Kind of a cool thing for the developers and publisher to do. I'm trying it out right now.

Anyone else get this update retroactively added to their library? Tried it out yet?

I got it too, thanks for the heads up.
looks pretty amazing:

Everyone who has Majesty should have it in their library. What an awesome move by Paradox, doing this kind of update for a game that's over a decade old.

I love HD remakes of old games. They don't change anything, don't break the fun, they just make them look smooth.

I love 2d graphics without pixelization ;)

Wait, they remove a functionnality by removing the pixel and you are happy?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
PARADOX GIVE ME MAH PIXELS BACK!

if you bought it early, you still have access to your beloved pixels!

Is it possible to buy the original because Emualynk is about to have two heart attacks in IRC because of this :P

IT'S A GODDAMN CONSPIRACY TO STEAL OUR PIXELS.
I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS.

NOPE, AHAHAHAHAAHA

Umm... We get more pixels actually?

According to the store page, buying the HD version includes the original. Hope I averted any heart attacks! Thank looks really good! I thought they'd just end up reusing the remade graphics on the Android version, but I much prefer this.

Even better is that HD versions contains Wrath of Krolm and Balance of Twilight scenarios which were not included in previous version.

But it costs 2x more for new buyers.

New buyers? Who cares about new buyers? :-)
Really? I didn't know that. I am just happy I got new content for free.

Plus bugfixes, as they claim.
