Game seems to be officially dead.

It can't be bought off Steam anymore.

People who had the game (legitimately) on Steam, are unable to play it.

Version here on IGG-Games doesn't work either.

The main reason is that the game keeps trying to access the internet (it won't run if it doesn't detect an internet connection).

This explains why the file size of the game you install is so small (around 100MB), even though the "game" has so much video on it. Most of the game is not here, it has to be streamed from the developers site.

( https://video.eko.com/wargames )

Company that made the game is non-responsive.

Official website (where one could, supposedly, "play" the game for free) isn't working properly either - the site is still up, but trying to run anything gets you stuck on a loading loop.

The only good news is that the game was, seemingly, crap - so nothing of value was lost.

However, judging by YouTube videos, there were multiple options one could try, and now we'll never know what would happen if someone tried them.

Another game lost forever because it has a mandatory online component.

Wargames states it has no need of a crack but takes you to the steam page from the .exe, the launcher says that the "Target" and "Startin" folders aren't pointed at the correct path, and Launcher x64 just hangs on "Close this window if you are done playing game.".
It seems like it's using Smart Steam Emu. I tried changing the SmartSteamEmu.ini #StartIn to the folder I extracted it all to because to start off it points to where Age of Empires II would be in Steam.The target is correctly #WarGames.Exe.
I don't know if it was extracted wrong, configured wrong, or just out of date but I would like to play the game.
Thank you for your time.

I was having the exact same issue. Gave up, deciding it wasn't worth my time. May come back if problems are fixed.
