Because the original game wasn't made for newer computers and these third party patch are the ones that will make it playable for some people.

That's why, why the game worth to buy?

Cause we bought the game, the game should be solve the problems & not using 3rd party to support it~

It's a 21 year old game that stopped being supported a while ago, not really sure what you expect.

How many years of the games is doesnt matter, dev released the game on steam, & they should fix the problems... not just sold the game & do nothing... & ask us to use 3rd party software to support it...

So why need to buy it? Just crack the game thts all...

Fan-patches have kept this community alive for decades. I'm just glad there is an official way to get them.

Those cracked versions are also 3rd party downloads anyway, so if you're paranoid about downloading anything external, you're a hypocrite.

I disagree. Those who have computers that support this game can still buy it legitimately while those who aren't paranoid and knows how to make old games playable through patches can also play. You're not forced to buy if you aren't either of those.

A thousand what? The whole collection is currently priced down to less than the price of an average McDonalds burger… for nine games and eight expansion packs :steamfacepalm:

And you can still just download the fan patches to fix them up. Most of them are a simple one-click install.

I do understand both sides, but if I re- release a game on a plattform, it must work. If Sony brings an older game baxk in their shop and it wouldnt work, thwy cant say its an older game

Patching is still going on on this collection, though, so the issues with these games might still get fixed.
