Klumpen0815: Earthsiege was published by Sierra, which is now owned by Blizzard.
Mechwarrior was published by Activision, which is now owned by / merged with Blizzard.
You see the problem with getting those DRM-free? :(
Nope. Sierra was bought by Activision and while Activision and Blizzard have merged, they still act as separate companies. Hence why, despite Activision being ever-present on Steam, Blizzard is nowhere to be seen outside their store. Let's not forget that Activision is already here. Mechwarrior was published by Activision, which is now owned by / merged with Blizzard.

And while Mechwarrior 1+2 might have been published by Activision, Mechwarrior 3 was published by Microprose and 4 by Microsoft. Alas, at least for Mechwarrior 1+2, the biggest problem is the licensing which involves IPs that are not Battletech, thus making a rerelease even more difficult than your typical licensed game (which is already hard enough).
