And ironically when they do offer it, it's always an unplayable buggy mess. For example, Saints Row 2 (2009) on steam appears completely unplayable judging by recent reviews, it crashes to desktop when a mission ends, and they're selling it on sale.

They should just do what Realms of the Haunting 1996 for MS-DOS did and package the whole thing inside of an Emulator.

It's because of how shit saints row 2 and gta 4 are on PC that I use my Xbox to play Xbox 360 games.

Saints Row 2 basically requires the Gentlemen of the Row mod to function on PC. The devs actually hired the modder, IdolNinja, to fix the game proper, but sadly he passed away and the project was scrapped.

I actually couldn't even get that to work for me, TBH. Also, all of the latest versions of GotR got flagged on the Nexus for some reason. Its still clean according to most up to date antivirus, though.
