The publishers behind ''Charlie's Quest II'' originally wanted it to be a live service game, but decide against it and go back to the re-releases model because of the potential backlash the former would cause (e.g. complaints about FakeLongevity or [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames the inevitable server sunset]]).
* '''Exploited''':???
The publishers behind ''Charlie's Quest II'' continue re-releasing the game despite the growing influence of its live service competitors, pleasantly surprising the game's fanbase for the perceived committment to quality. Advertising for the game plays this up for all it's worth.
* '''Defied''':???
The publishers behind ''Charlie's Quest II'' insist on re-releasing the game despite its competitors doing otherwise and/or negative fan reaction to the practice. After some convincing, saner heads prevail and ''Charlie's Quest III'' is greenlit instead of ''Super Charlie's Quest II Redux''.
* '''Discussed''':???
Alice and Bob, while playing ''Hyper Charlie's Quest II'' together, randomly come to the realization that this is the fourth time they've played the same game and talk about it at length.
* '''Conversed''':???Alice and Bob come across ''Hyper Charlie's Quest II'' on a window display at their local game store while heading out for lunch. They briefly share some snide remarks about the business practice, then go on their merry way.
