Not for full price, usually this would be a 20 dollar straight up purchase, and for games like Skyrim if you already owned a copy you'd get the upgrade for free. This is a cash grab.
A release on a modern console worth 50 dollars would have been a remaster. See Halo MCC and Mass Effect Legendary edition there for examples of good rerelease price vs payoff
Skyrim is a terrible example TBH. That game has been released and rereleased for full price over and over and over again on every platform under the sun. It barely ever even goes on sale.
