Yes, I think if the original team is the one doing the EE edition, then most of the time it is done out passion to make a better game or to fix the things they could not get done the first time, thus making it better, but when you outsource it then you get Warcraft 3 or if it is done in house with an other team they do not have the passion to improve, only the goal to get paid.
It is a shame that you cannot see more source code from modern games, would be nice to see how they are evolving or devolving, you only get part of the concept explained here and there.
The Witcher EE was a big improvement over the original version.

When the original dev does it its "this is the game we wish we could have made back then" when it's a third party its "fulfill this contract"
