Pluh EASE port mechwarrior 3 to gog and steam

[Blue Rasberry Snow leopard]

i've had to install and reinstall this game multiple times to get it to run. it would be lovely if we can play the older games on modern hardware without the need to use sketchy hacks or dgvoodoo.

Are you lost? These developers have nothing to do with other MechWarrior games. Send your complaints and desires to Microsoft who are in possession of the IP.

MW3 as a property is a bit of an odd one as it might legit be Sony of all people who have access to that one.

Releasing the older MechWarrior games on Steam in a state where you can play them without applying any additional fixes would be cool, me and a lot of other people would buy them.
Remastered versions of these games would be even better. A lot of people have nostalgic memories of these games and there is a lot of money for nostalgia in the gaming industry these days.

Just last month Bethesda got four million people (me included) to buy a remastered version of Oblivion for the price of a brand new game... A game from 2006.
Nightdive Studios made a whole business remastering old titles.

Let's face it, a lot of the audience for MechWarrior games are older guys who remember this series from the good old days.
There would be a market for remastered versions of these games.

That is a self-contradicting statement right there. Very niche games for a niche category of people.

The MechWarrior and MechCommander series are the second most requested game franchises on GOG of all time.

There is still a lot of interest in these older games.

Like I said there is a lot of money in nostalgia these days and older gamers tend to have more disposable income. Who knows with upgraded graphics and other quality of life feature some younger gamers who never played these before would also give them a try.
