I'd love to see Night Dive try their hand at porting PID over to Windows & Linux. Worked perfect for System Shock 1, as we saw in the System Shock Marathon Comparison series.
This isn't sarcasm, but maybe they could also do a full remake of it later like they did with System Shock R with all the extra content goodies (such as new bodies to talk to & the PDA whose backstory logs canon weld Marathon to the id multiverse) from the Doom 3 mod PID remake except unlike the latter they have better monster design closer to the OG PID and actually finish it.
