    Wonder why they would do this instead of just making another one with new characters

    Very surprised they made the effort to rerelease this. The novelty of watching Max, Tycho, the Heavy and Strong-Bad play poker was cool back in 2010 when their respective series were relevant but it's been over fifteen years now!

    None of the featured franchises are still relevant.

    Sam & Max had a VR game released five years ago, and their final episodic TT game released nearly sixteen years ago.

    Penny Arcade is still going but hardly anybody reads it now. It may get brought up with some old memes like the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory but gaming webcomics are dead. Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik are nowadays better known for organizing PAX, a series of gaming festivals/trade shows which grew from the decline of E3.

    Team Fortress 2 hasn't seen any major content updates from Valve in nearly a decade. In fact, the game has been overrun with hackers whilst Valve has done little/nothing to combat cheating.

    As for Homestar Runner, it still gets updated from time to time, but the Brothers Chaps are more focused on other projects and only update the site & their YouTube channel with new content every year or two.
