I have the "Double Deluxe" collection from 2009; which is on a disk. It worked fine on a refurbished workstation from 2013 running 10 (as well as a laptop from 2011 also running 10--both were originally Windows 7 machines), but any modern PC seems to refuse to want to install software from disks; without work "under the hood". Add in the fact that a lot (if not most) PCs are sold without disk drives these days. I have to use a USB disk drive to run any kind of disk.
Yes, it's an old game. But say $30 vs. probably hundreds of dollars and lots of time and effort trying to track down all the disks is much better in my mind. Plus, this will be $30 in EA's pocket and not the secondary market. Plus, a good chunk of the sales GOG has is older titles. Not to mention, Sim City 2000 is from 1995, which predates the Sims franchise entirely; but is still on Origin. Thus, "It's Old" isn't an excuse at all.
That being said, why not TS1 also?
