The original Demon's Souls needs to be preserved, it was the starting point of the soulsborne genre and never had the chance to get on PC like the original Dark Souls

It's a fantastic game. And also far better than the god-awful remake that craps all over the original art style and music. The OG - not the Remake - needs to be preserved.

please do this one and not the godawful demake. It'll never happen but i do feel obligated to let this grievance out there. This game was a huge innovation and should be preserved
The hidden gem of the ps3, people never could appreciate this game at all, now be the optimization, the publicity on the release day or eclipsed by Dark Souls but i know people would love this game if came today
The starting point of the Souls series, the original Demon's Souls is a masterpiece that deserves just as much love as any other. For the original DeS to receive a proper PC port would be a dream come true. More people need to experience where it all began and fall in love with this gem like so many others have.

I love this game, one of my favorite games of all time and which is the precursor to Dark Souls which I really love. Although I found the remake on PS5 nice, I have a preference for the original game and it would be very nice to still be able to access it in the version released on PS3

This game is very special to me as it helped me when I was a teenage that was losing interest in everything and struggling. It gave me hope and let me overcome the challenges in my real life. The atmosphere still holds up and is better than even the later titles from, from software. It is a shame it is stuck on ps3 hardware. As the remake does not retain the art direction.

I played the following one, Dark Souls, at a weird point in my life. Nothing was going as I had been planning, and nothing was under my control anymore. However, playing it frustrated me so much that I forgot most of my irl problems during every session, and I looked forward to those nights every day. At a certain point, I realized that all I ever needed was to pick myself up again, and again and again, even in real life, until I could figure things out and solve my problems bit by bit. Thank you for existing, FS and Miyazaki. I'd like to keep the entirety of the Souls series with me, just to remind myself of what I've learned—if I ever forget, though I doubt that I ever will. And to share these fantastic experiences with my fellow PC players too!
I played Demons Souls before but I didn't have the opportunity to complete it 100%, and most importantly for me, the willingness to play it with friends. So I'm hoping for a PC port and, if possible, online options.

As one of the only modern Fromsoftware games not available on PC in some way, I think we need to change that! And with the original version of the game, not the remake. While the remake is pretty, the original wasn't supposed to be pretty! I didn't know about the King's Field or Armored Core games so this was my first experience into a fromsoftware game, and was a day 1 buy for me. The trailer was just too cool. Loved the aesthetic of the original.
Those games also need your vote!

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-KazooieA bear named Banjo needs the help of his loyal friend Kazooie, a red feathered bird, to rescue his sister Tooty from a witch named Gruntilda. Gruntilda has created a machine that transfers one person's level of beauty to another, and plans to use it on Tooty, so she can steal her youthful good looks. Tooty is hidden within Gruntilda's lair, a strange collection of rooms that contain portals to mysterious environments, where new landscapes, new friends, and new foes are encountered. The layer contains magical doors that seal off certain rooms, stopping Banjo and Kazooie from finding Tooty. In order to open these doors, Banjo and Kazooie need to collect mysterious objects called notes, which exist within the mysterious environments. Collecting enough of these notes will give them the power to open the magical doors. In order to open a portal to a new environment, a jigsaw containing a picture of the environment has to be finished. Golden Jigsaw pieces are located within previously visited worlds, and can fit any unfinished jigsaw. The game is often described as being similar to Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country, as well as sharing a few similarities with The Legend of Zelda series.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
