Couple things here that spring to mind.<br><br>1) I don't know what you mean with that you've tried a lot of options found online but with the BFME franchise I know there is a dedicated FB group and website that has modded the games to an extent that you download their version and you can still play it. <br><br>I also still have the original discs for BFME 1 and 2 but I ran into problems with BFME 1 many times on more modern systems so I reached out to this "illigal" version. It has run on my previous PC for years and every so often I'd come back for the memories and to feel like I'm emerging myself into Middle Earth.<br><br>2) The one hope we have is that there are indy companies which are buying the rights to beloved old franchises and bring them back to a working state for newer systems. Think about Age of Empires series, especially age of empires 2. In that case the original publisher might still be interested. However that would already be more difficult for always online games... I have already lost hope for publisher organised remasters because those are usually badly performed cash grabs. I am looking at you Blizzard.<br><br>3) The extra hurdle you run into with the BFME series is that EA has lost the rights to the LOtR franchise. And this is (or at least was) a very difficult franchise to get your hands on so there is an extra layer there as to why this one can't be re-released so easily. Because actually in my opinion this would indeed be one of those old franchises that could benefit from a remaster and make quite a good profit.<br><br>Just my thoughts on this entire ordeal. Thanks again for a great video!
