The alternative is the game stays unavailable, people like you will bitch either way.
The alternative would've been putting actual effort into making a legacy collection run on modern systems.
Nobody complained about Star Wars Battlefront until its legacy collection came out and worked like garbage.
Nobody complained about The Sims until its legacy collection came out and... I'm sure you get the idea.
The games were free for a long time, and a community patch made them work. That was a significantly better deal than having to pony up 40 bucks for an EA patch that's barely functional.
