Mech-Commander 2 is one of my all-time favorites.
Would love to play it again.

MC was fun, but some of the meta's were childish, like having to fix captured mechs, then jump around etc to raise pilot skills.

It is possible to get all of those games running on a modern PC.

That being said I know a lot of folks prefer to just click download and have the game work right away.

If they could patch the games to run right away, I’m sure they could make some money quick. Personally I like buying older games that I have on CD and add them to my Steam library. I know I’m not the only one.

yes under various emulators you could get them working.

Well... metas are more on the player rather than the game TBH. You can play a game while deliberately choosing not to use them.

.... no one even mentioned things like The Crescent Hawk's Inception/Revenge?

all of them very playable today, there's a bunch of online guides for getting MW3 and 4 floating around.

Yep - but it was 'better'

For someone to be able to buy the license you'd first need Microsoft to go bust.

or just offer them enough money for it.

Psst...Microsoft.

For those who may be skeptical, that folks would be interested in paying money for such old computer games.

Checkout the second most requested series on gog of all time...Just saying.
