God damn do I hate the gaming community. Just absolutely obsessed with picking everything apart and never actually having fun with the hobby they supposedly enjoy.

Everything is about complaining about wokeness or about which souless corporation is the best/worst or about over analysing whether Silent Poopoo 3 is the worst game ever because 59 frames per second and Resident Pee had 60.

Battle for Middle-Earth

aubrey-happy Particularly BFME 2 for me... yeah, those games need a remaster badly, but they're locked in IP hell.

So, fun fact. You can download a launcher from moddb that just allows you to install the games and some of the more popular mods, because yeah. You literally can't buy it.

AND someone made a program to break the code to remove the lock from the fps in a way that doesn't make the game run faster (this used to be a big thing back in the day, they'd lock the fps to the speed of the game) but they've paywalled the tool on their patreon

Wow, great info here. Thanks comrade. I had no idea about the mod launcher letting you download the games. I have BFME2 + RotWK on CD, but it's a hassle to install these days.

As for the tool, I'm a bit annoyed at the paywall, but I'd consider tossing a few bucks in if I feel like giving those games a go again.
