How is it not stupid? Many gamers will feel like it's a rip off to buy the same game they already own just to play as a new character. Even for $40, that's insane. That can be fixed easily by releasing the new playable character as DLC. A business releasing the same game with little effort in making it stand out is cheap IMO. Not really good business, even for a quick buck. Will it sell? Maybe. Might be a success. From a consumer standpoint, it's not ideal. If you buy a car at a dealer and then that dealer later releases that same car with better wheels for example, will you buy the newer one too just for the cosmetic look, or will you just buy the new tires (if you really wanted them)?
However, thankfully Off the Record is a new game altogether taking place in the same locale as the original DR2. New areas are available and the story will be different. It's been stated that Frank will not be doing the same missions Chuck did.
