Although that isn't terribly expensive. I already purchased two copies of both Age of Empires Gold Edition with the Age of Kings original and the Conquerors Expansion and have enjoyed them for a long time. Seeing as they did work on Windows 10 prior to ~9926 build then I see no reason that I should have to re-purchase my game to continue to enjoy playing this classic game. This is a bug and needs a fix.
Another thing.... Is Microsoft having internal issues as Windows 10 doesn't even recognize Microsoft as the publisher of the game?
If I wanted HD graphics, new shortcuts, different campaigns, and a steam/network locked version I'd pay for the new game. But I just want to play the classic I have owned for years.
