Because everything made in the greyzone of “until the IP owner sends us a cease and desist” risks the console producer (sony/Microsoft/Nintendo etc) getting in trouble for allowing the content on their hardware.
In this specific instance the IP owner and the console manufacturer are one and the same. I just don’t see Microsoft spending any effort on porting Fallout 2, though. I could see them remaking the original two though with how popular some of their other remakes have been recently.
It may be possible to compile Fallout 2 CE https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce for XBOX and install it in developer mode, that would be the best chance.
Don’t ask me how, but most likely it will not be an easy project.
Because my man is over here asking for mod for a 26 year old game to be ported to a games console it was never programmed to run on.
It’s not exactly smooth sailing to port a complicated game engine to a console, then on top, put a barely finished mod for that game to be put on top of that, and make it run properly.
Why don’t these beautiful things come to consoles?!? 😭😭😭

Todd has recently explicitly said he has no interest in remaking the games before fallout 3

I don’t know why people are downvoting you for simply expressing a desire to play this

I know why it’s not a feasible request for a host of reasons, I just read their post as a harmless expression of their desire to play it.
