You want old? I was just treated to the nice surprise that my modern gaming PC could run Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. I got it with the "Jedi Knight Collection" not expecting to be able to play it because age (I got it for Jedi Academy).
If you can stomach giving a woke-ass company money, use GoG for the older games. They pack it with a DOSBox instance to ensure the game will run. And ... it's DRM free, so you can put it on a USB stick and go to a friend's house with it. Or give him a copy if you like.
Did that for my beloved copy of Lucas Arts' game Afterlife ... a Sim-City style game where you control Heaven and Hell.
And unfortunately you don't have a choice unless you want to sail the high seas, or refrain from playing. Steam may not virtue signal like CDPR but they're just more subtle about it. Epic forces you to celebrate pride in their games.
